Chelsea player ratings vs Burnley as Palmer imperious, Sterling impact but Gallagher disappoints

Chelsea were held to a 2-2 draw by a 10-man Burnley team in a poor performance at Stamford Bridge.

Mauricio Pochettino implemented three alterations to the lineup that emerged victorious against Leicester City nearly two weeks ago, and the club commenced the match in a promising manner. Axel Disasi believed he had scored for the home team in the first half, but his goal was disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) due to a handball.

Nevertheless, the Blues managed to secure the advantage before the half-time siren. Following Mykhailo Mudryk’s foul in the penalty area, Lorenz Assignon received a direct red card for the away team.

Vincent Kompany, the manager of Burnley, was quite angry at the decision and received a red card for expressing his dissatisfaction. Cole Palmer delicately chipped the ball from a distance of 12 yards and skillfully scored, giving Chelsea the lead with his characteristic composed and precise finish.

However, the Clarets managed to score an equalizer early in the second half through a remarkable goal by Josh Cullen from outside the penalty area. However, Chelsea regained the lead later in the game with another goal by Palmer.

Burnley promptly equalized with a header from Dara O’Shea following a corner, resulting in a 2-2 draw despite Chelsea having a numerical advantage in the second half. Here, Bobby Vincent provides ratings for the Chelsea players who played.

Djordje Petrovic executes a fantastic pass to Malo Gusto in the opening minute of the match. Executed an exceptional save to prevent Wilson Odobert from scoring shortly thereafter. Should have performed more effectively for the O’Shea goal, however. The number 5.

Malo Gusto – Perpetually optimistic. Played a crucial role in all positive offensive actions for the Blues. Regrettably, he was unable to score his inaugural goal for Chelsea during the first half. Hopefully, the damage he sustained towards the end is not severe. The number 7.

Axel Disasi believed he had scored, expressing his joy and celebrating, but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) had a different perspective. He displayed a strong defensive performance when necessary. The number is 6.

Benoit Badiashile possesses excellent composure when in possession of the ball. Successfully triumphed in several aerial duels. Had limited involvement, which can be seen as a favorable trait for a center-back position. The number is 6.

Marc Cucurella – In contrast to his fellow full-back, Cucurella was unable to actively participate in the game, despite continuously positioning himself in an advanced position on the field. The number is 6.

Enzo Fernandez executed a superb sliding tackle at the 13th minute mark. In the first half, I observed that he performed admirably, but his performance considerably declined in the second period. The number is 6.

Moises Caicedo is a person’s name. Performed adequately. His energy is quite remarkable. His impact on the match was limited. The number is 6.

Cole Palmer – As brilliant as ever. It is regrettable that a remarkable goal was not scored early in the game. The player successfully scored a bold penalty soon before the end of the first half. Continuously engaged and scored a second goal after halftime. Exceptional. The number is 9.

Conor Gallagher is a person. Insufficient noise level. He was unable to participate to the extent he desired. The number is 5.

Mykhailo Mudryk was energetic and caused trouble for Burnley. The talent he executed at the beginning of the game to deliberately provoke a yellow card was exceptional. He should capitalize on his opportunity within approximately 35 minutes. However, the player compensated for the mistake by executing an impressive run that resulted in a penalty and a red card for the opposing team before halftime. The number 7.

Nicolas Jackson squandered an early opportunity following some highly promising play in the build-up by the striker. Appeared satisfactory, however. He consistently involved his teammates in the game through excellent hold-up play. The number is 6.

Alternatives

Noni Madueke entered the game for the last 30 minutes. On the 67th minute, he had a slim opportunity but failed to aim his shot accurately towards the corner. The cameo was decent, but it did not have the necessary impact. The number is 6.

Raheem Sterling received a warm reception, which was encouraging considering the recent events that took place two weeks earlier. Instantly made a significant contribution by executing a highly intelligent flick to Palmer, resulting in his second goal. The number 7.

Alfie Gilchrist is a person. Entered the game within the last minutes. Not applicable.
