Chelsea player ratings vs Arsenal: No plan, no fight and no hope as Blues humiliated in derby

Chelsea had a really tough time in their recent match against Arsenal, losing 5-0. This loss is a big setback for their chances of making it into European competitions.

The first goal was scored early on by Leandro Trossard, who managed to get his shot past Djordje Petrovic. Then, just after halftime, Ben White scored a messy second goal for Arsenal.

Kai Havertz, playing against his old team, scored two more goals in the second half, making Arsenal fans cheer even louder. And to make matters worse for Chelsea, White assisted with another goal soon after Havertz’s second.

This result puts Chelsea a whopping 30 points behind Arsenal, who are leading the table. Chelsea now find themselves in ninth place after what can only be described as a truly awful night for them.

Player Ratings: Chelsea vs Arsenal. Premier League Opponent

Djordje Petrovic: 5/10 – The Busy Shot Stopper

In the game, Djordje Petrovic let a goal slip through his legs early on, but he was really active throughout, making some amazing saves despite the tough scoreline.

Alfie Gilchrist: 4/10 – Premier League Debut Struggles

Making his Premier League debut at just 20, Alfie Gilchrist had a tough time, especially being at fault for the first goal against his team.

Axel Disasi: 4/10 – Defensive Mishaps

Caught off guard for a flick-on that led to a missed chance to equalize, Disasi struggled defensively in the first half.

Benoit Badiashile: 4/10 – Defensive Errors

Though he set up Disasi’s chance with a flick-on, Badiashile wasn’t solid at the back and was to blame for Havertz’s second goal.

Marc Cucurella: 4/10 – Beaten on the Wing

Struggling against Bukayo Saka, Cucurella was also distracted by arguing with officials, leading to defensive lapses for Chelsea’s second and third goals.

Moises Caicedo: 5/10 – Midfield Presence

Despite being overrun by the opposition midfield, particularly Declan Rice, Caicedo made a crucial interception to prevent a tap-in.

Enzo Fernandez: 4/10 – Missed Opportunities

Fernandez missed a chance, picked up a booking, and played a part in the opponent’s goal, struggling to make a significant impact.

Conor Gallagher: 4/10 – Midfield Battle Woes

Although he delivered a good cross early on, Gallagher often lost possession, contributing to Chelsea’s struggle in the midfield.

Noni Madueke: 4/10 – Defensive Vulnerabilities

While he posed a threat on the counter-attack and created chances, Madueke left Gilchrist exposed defensively, contributing to the team’s defensive woes.

Nicolas Jackson: 5/10 – Impressive but Ineffective Finisher

Showing promise until reaching the penalty area, Jackson’s finishing let him down once again, failing to capitalize on opportunities.

Mykhailo Mudryk: 4/10 – Tactical Struggles

Mudryk struggled tactically and needed guidance from the coach throughout the game.

Substitutes: Mixed Impact

• Trevoh Chalobah: 5/10 – Limited Influence
  Chalobah couldn’t do much to change the flow of the game after coming on.
• Raheem Sterling: 5/10 – Disappointing Contribution
  Despite his experience, Sterling’s tame free-kick failed to make an impact.
• Cesare Casadei: 5/10 – Defensive Stability
  Though not directly involved in conceding goals, Casadei didn’t significantly alter the game’s outcome.
• Thiago Silva: 6/10 – Attempted Defensive Reinforcement
  Coming on to bolster the defense, Silva tried to stem the tide as Chelsea shifted to a back five.
