Conceded early from the spot and late on, but in-between had little to do

Captained the side, did fine against low quality opposition, was very happy for Kai Havertz when he scored

I liked his reading of the game this evening, composed on the ball too

Good to see him back, conceded a penalty with a silly foul and got booked, but his footwork in the build-up to the Havertz goal redeems him a little.

Solid night, put one on a plate for Gyokeres which he should have scored but managed to put it over from 3 yards

Had a decent game, I thought, seemed to gel well with those around him, nice flick in the build-up to the second goal, denied a late assist by a tight offside

Great pass for the opener, scored a goal on his first start in almost a year, and showed what we've been missing. A good 45 mins under his belt

Grew into the game, I thought, made a great chance for Jesus which he missed badly, and ended with 6 key passes on the night.

Had his full back on toast all night, scored one, almost scored another, created chances for others, and worked really hard

Lots of involvement, 5 shots, 7 dribbles, but the final pass is almost always wayward in one way or another. Frustrating, more than exciting, to watch.

Scored one, and played a good blocking role for the Havertz goal but so much else just looked like he was playing in lead boots. Missed some glaring chances to really make his mark on this game in terms of end-product

On at half-time for Calafiori, switched off for the late goal but I don't suppose it really matters in the grand scheme of things

Had a couple of headers which we were saved easily, played one nice ball to White, but I was itching for him to be more influential to help rediscover his mojo and he wasn't

A nice debut for the 17 year old, almost got on the end of Madueke's one incisive pass

Congrats on the debut but not on long enough to rate

Bonus

10/10- 8 wins from 8 in the Champions League. Now we just need 8 wins in a row in the Premier League and we can all relax a bit.
