CM) Nemanja Matic, 8
Usually known for his defensive nous, with Cesc Fabregas not starting he roamed forward more and looked dangerous.
CM) Ramires, 6
Didn’t do enough to warrant a stay in the side once everyone is fully fit.
CM) Willian, 7
Looked lost when in the middle, but impressed on the wing when he moved out to accommodate Fabregas when he came on. Got a lucky deflection on the winner.
