Chelsea beat rivals Tottenham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in a feisty encounter.
Enzo Fernandez scored the first and Andrey Santos the second as the Blues beat their London rivals in their final home game of the Premier League season.
Richarlison scored late for the visitors but it proved a mere consolation for Spurs as Calum McFarlane earned his first win at Stamford Bridge.
Dom Smith was at Stamford Bridge to rate the Chelsea players’ performances…
Robert Sanchez 5
Had very little to do on the night. Conceded to Richarlison from close range.
Josh Acheampong 6
Fared well at right-back, where he started ahead of the benched Reece James and the injured Malo Gusto. A rare Premier League start for the Englishman.
Wesley Fofana 6
Started at centre-back as Levi Colwill was given a rest. Seemed tired at moments but defended well.
Jorrel Hato 7
Almost scored an own goal with a strange interception in the first half. Otherwise solid, including a match-winning late block to deny James Maddison a certain goal.
Marc Cucurella 6
Was a real attacking outlet in the first half but his poor header allowed Spurs back into the game with Richarlison’s goal.
Moises Caicedo 7
Full of bite in midfield with tackles and interceptions and some useful passes, too.
Has struggled for minutes lately but made the most of this start, covering plenty of ground in midfield before scoring the second with a confidence finish.
Pedro Neto 6
Needed to be more positive in transition. Was a frustrating watch again.
Cole Palmer 7
Brighter than he has been in many recent performances, picking up pockets and forcing one good save. His end product is still lacking, though.
The on-field captain led from the front, scoring Chelsea’s first, assisting their second, and never giving up.
Liam Delap 5
It didn’t fall for the striker yet again. Couldn’t make it stick and blazed over with his only chance.
