#3 Hit: Aaron Wan-Bissaka

What a tackle!
What a tackle!

Unlike his full-back partner, 20-year-old Wan-Bissaka was on top of his game. The youngster astutely responded to Chelsea's collective attacking unit down the left and picked his man with lucidity.

He won aerial duels, man-marked the right person and contributed with last-ditch tackles whenever required. More importantly, most of his challenges were clean and near perfect. He prevented crosses and forced back passes from the likes of Alonso and Willian. As a result, they were made to drift infield and battle it out with a jammed midfield.

He stayed out wide, cleared the ball with safety and put his best foot forward while getting higher up the pitch.

Although his teammates couldn't sustain Chelsea's high press for too long, the Englishman looked rather comfortable on the ball. A few of his crosses were well-constructed and created too. All in all, against a formidable opponent such as Chelsea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka put in a good shift at right back.
