MC) Ruben Loftus-Cheek – 7
Impressive performance from the youngster who will have a bright future. Loftus-Cheek uses the ball intelligently and it is easy to see why he’s so highly rated at the club.
MC) Nemanja Matic – 5
Struggled in midfield after Fabregas’ red card and should have scored late on from close range, but somehow allowed Boaz Myhill to keep out the effort.
AMC) Cesc Fabregas – 3
Foolish sending off from the Spaniard in the first half as he needlessly kicked the ball at Brunt. Has also now lost the chance to beat Thierry Henry’s Premier League record for assists.
