#3 Hit: Reece James
A dominant performance by the young Chelsea defender as he was powerful and confident in his game today. His deliveries from wide areas were threatening and he was at his brilliant best from the start.
His link-up with Willian on the right flank was one of the few positives for Chelsea. The 20-year old was effective going in front and was rock solid at the back. Graham Potter had to switch the midfield shape early on to battle the threat of the young right-back.
Reece James lived up to his potential and hype and was one of the few Chelsea players who deserved to win today.

#2 Hit: Kepa Arrizabalaga
It has been a tough season for Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga but he was at his best in this game. Kepa had almost nothing to do in the first half as Chelsea were pretty comfortable but when he was tested, he replied with some amazing saves.
A strong hand to deny Leandro Trossard late in the first half made sure that Chelsea went to half-time with a lead. A stunning one-handed effort to deny 19-year old Aaron Connolly and a save using his feet against Neal Maupay's low, late attempt saved Chelsea from losing all three points.
Though he could not do anything about Jahanbakhsh's equalizer, it was for performances like these that Chelsea paid £71.6 million for the shot-stopper.
