Chelsea took advantage in the race for at top four finish with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.
Jack Rosser was in attendance and runs the rule over the Blues’ performance…
Willy Caballero 5/10
A nice stop from Lucas early on but almost had Chelsea in trouble when caught out by a heavy touch from Japhet Tanganga and was too slow to react to the deflection off Rudiger for Lamela’s goal.
Cesar Azpilicueta 7/10
Reliable as always. The Chelsea captain has played almost everywhere across the back line for Frank Lampard this season and impresses each and every time.
Andreas Christensen 6/10
Largely untroubled all afternoon. The Chelsea back three didn’t face too much from Spurs but helped keep the Blues in control on the ball.
Antonio Rudiger 6/10
Should have done better with Lamela’s effort which saw him score an own goal, but largely a decent performance.
Reece James 7/10
Another strong showing from the full-back. As ever an menace going forward down the right, didn’t have to do too much on the defensive side.
Jorginho 7/10
Chelsea’s conductor in the middle. Kept everyone on their toes and played a superb ball to get the move for the first goal going.
Mateo Kovacic 7/10
Kovacic has been one of Lampard’s most consistent performers and put on another good show. Both he and Mount dominating in midfield.
Marcos Alonso 8/10
The Spaniard loves this fixture, did well down the left and a brilliant strike across Lloris to cap a fine move for Chelsea’s second
Ross Barkley 7/10
A rare start in the Premier League for Barkley and a good display to go with it, nice sharp assist for Alonso.
Mason Mount 8/10
Revived after the winter break, Mount is looking back to his best once more. He was at it from the off and linked well with Giroud.
Olivier Giroud 8/10
Quite a moment for the Frenchman opening the scoring with a fine finish. Brought the best out of those around him too.
Substitutes
Tammy Abraham 6/10
Looked lively returning from injury and perhaps should have had a goal from close range when latching onto Reece James’s cross.
