Chelsea second half player ratings: Mason Mount excels but Michy Batshuayi quiet at Reading

Willy Caballero

Couldn't do anything about the goal, and made a decent save leading up to it. 5

Cesar Azpilicueta

A couple of loose passes early on. Looked to really get down the right, however wasn't found on a few occasions. Solid defensively. 6

David Luiz

A stunning shot that smashed the crossbar, but the worrying thing was the defending wasn't great from the centre-backs. Too often there were big spaces between the two. 5

Kurt Zouma

Really poor defending from a corner early in the half to allow Mark Morrison to score. Some nice tackles, however the connection with Luiz was a little rusty at times. 5

Emerson Palmieri

A wonderful cross into the box and playing very high up the pitch. A couple of times caught out of possesion again, but still leading the left-back race. 7

Jorginho

Looked frustrated at the base of the 4-4-2 diamond at times after a couple of heavy challenges on him. But moved the ball on well and quietly went about his business. 6

Mateo Kovacic

Looking a lot more comfortable this summer, however a poor ball that lead to the Reading goal. But really drove hard in the middle of the park and was impressive for a lot of the half. 7

Most impressive Chelsea stars vs Barcelona

Mason Mount

Having a really good pre-season and again he showed that with a couple of neat finishes. His work-rate has been exceptional, all over the park and in so much of the good play. 8

Pedro

Playing at the tip of the diamond, a couple of nice bits of play, however wasn't on the same wavelength as the strikers at times. Constantly looking to get on the ball though. 6

Tammy Abraham

A lot of movement and energy, trying to get on the ball. But his energy off the ball was the best. Constan

tly closing down defenders and making things happen. Not a lot of action in front of the goal. 7

Michy Batshuayi

Lost the ball too many times. However, did well for the first Mount goal. In front of goal, had nothing to really go on in terms of attack and it was a bit of a quiet afternoon for him. 5

Substitute

Jamie Cumming (on for Caballero 63')

A nice save down to his right early, and couldn't do much about the goal. 5
