Chelsea player ratings: Billy Gilmour dominates Liverpool's midfield as Kepa stakes his claim in FA Cup win

Chelsea produced arguably their best display of the season to comfortably beat Liverpool and reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Jack Rosser was at Stamford Bridge to run the rule over Frank Lampard's side...

Kepa Arrizabalaga 7

Back in the side after six games on the bench and made quite the case for a full time recall

Cesar Azpilicueta 7

Kept Origi and Robertson quiet down the left throughout, more defensively dependable than Reece James.

Antonio Rudiger 6

Kept things composed at the back as a frenetic game unfolded in front of the Blues defence.

Kurt Zouma 7

Minamino hardly had a say in the game thanks to good work from Chelsea’s back two, a reassuring display.

Marcos Alonso 6

Less of a threat going forward when in a back four instead of at wing-back but continues his remarkable return.

Mateo Kovacic 6

Injury to the midfielder will be a huge blow to Lampard, looked to drive Chelsea forward before being forced off.

Billy Gilmour 9

A stellar display for the youngster on the biggest stage of his career, not at all overawed by the occasion.

Ross Barkley 8

Another impressive display from the former Everton man, stunning run and strike for his goal.

Willian 7

Could have had more than the one goal and was a constant threat before injury ended his night.

Pedro 5

Made some important tackles when tracking back but so wasteful going forward.

Olivier Giroud 7

Lead the line well again, would have had a goal if it was not for a fine Adrian save.
