He gave Brennan Johnson nothing all evening, even sneakily blocking him to help make the space for Chalobah\u2019s opener, and was instrumental in winning the ball back all over the pitch. Overall, it was among his best performances from the club.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honourable mention<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trevoh Chalobah: 8\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Chalobah had to wait two years for his goal, looping the ball masterfully into the far corner with a powerful header. But it wasn\u2019t just in an attacking sense that he stood up to be counted, making a number of important clearances in his own box to help preserve the clean sheet.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_0jn2u6d2v\">Chelsea\u2019s worst player vs Tottenham<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/01hwxhah1m0cdh2tpd2a.jpg\" alt=\"Noni Madueke showed promise without end product\" title=\"Noni Madueke showed promise without end product\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Noni Madueke showed promise without end product \/ Ryan Pierse\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noni Madueke: 6\/10<\/h3>\n<p>The winger certainly didn\u2019t lack ambition in facing up and trying to take on Emerson Royal, but his final pass lacked consistent quality. On one occasion, he did the hard work by beating his marker around the outside but the move petered out because he couldn\u2019t get he ball across the box before running out of room. This wasn\u2019t a bad performance by any means.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dishonourable mention<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cole Palmer: 6\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Given that he\u2019s carried\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0all season, it\u2019s fair that Palmer can afford a quieter evening once in a while, especially on a night where so many others in blue shirts did step up. It could have still been very easily different had his free-kick been an inch or two lower and hit the net rather than the bar. As it happens, that was what actually created the second Chelsea goal for Jackson anyway.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea are within touching distance of the Premier League\u2019s top seven and European qualification thanks to Thursday evening\u2019s London derby victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
