Chelsea player ratings vs Bournemouth as Benoit Badiashile and Noni Madueke excellent in victory

Kepa Arrizabalaga – Nothing he could do for Matias Vina's stunning goal in the first-half. 6.

Trevoh Chalobah – Showed some positive attacking intent as a right-back which we haven't really been used to seeing. 6.

Thiago Silva – Didn't look his best. There's always been a bit of a worry about him in a back-four. Doesn't do great for Vina's goal. 5.

Benoit Badiashile – Came back into the side and looked assured as always. Did really well in the air at times against Dominic Solanke. Composed on the ball. And then he goes and scores. What a bloke. 8.

Ben Chilwell – Sloppy in possession sometimes. Ryan Christie did well against him. Not the left-back's best day. Went off injured, too. 5.

Enzo Fernandez – Didn't have his most influential game. Was bypassed too easily for Bournemouth's goal. 5.

Conor Gallagher – Takes his goal really well. Run was timed perfectly and it's a great header. Looked much better than recent weeks. 7.

N'Golo Kante – A fantastic cross to set up Gallagher. Not something we'd usually associate him with but great to see. 6.

Noni Madueke – Looks so positive on and off the ball. He played really wide on the right-hand side and constantly looked to run in behind. Not everything comes off for him at the moment but he is such an exciting footballer to watch. Brilliant again. 8.

Kai Havertz – Struggled to get into the game. When he did have the ball, there was never really anything on for him. Misses a free header late on. 5.

Mykhailo Mudryk – Very direct on the ball whenever he had it which is what Lampard would have wanted. However, nothing really came off for the Ukrainian. But he looked bright. 6.

Substitutes –

Raheem Sterling – A brilliant run to set up Felix.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek – Looked calm on the ball and helped retain possession.

Hakim Ziyech – A peach of a cross in for Havertz who skied it.

Cesar Azpilicueta – Didn't concede when he was on the pitch, which is a big plus.

Joao Felix – An excellent finish. Let's have it, Joao.
