Antonio Rudiger – 6: In a rare start this season, the centre-back looked alert and dealt fairly well with Villa’s attacks. N’Golo Kante – 6: Generally a typical Kante performance, in a positive sense, but could have done more to stop El Ghazi as the Villa man equalised. Olivier Giroud – 8: Did well in helping his team-mates to defend set-pieces, and nodded a smart header past Martinez to give Chelsea the lead. John McGinn – 8: Blocked well to deny Pulisic in the Villa box in the first half, and worked hard to aid his team’s attacks.
