Chelsea clung on to a victory over Leicester in the FA Cup thanks to stoppage time goals from Carney Chukwuemeka and Noni Madueke.
Stamford Bridge was full of emotion as Chelsea surrendered a two-goal lead to the Foxes, before returning with two goals in the closing minutes of the game to survive a scare at the hands of the Championship team.
An assist from Raheem Sterling to aid Cole Palmer’s goal didn’t seem to be enough to make up for his earlier missed penalty, as fans in the stadium made their opinions clear.
Here’s Chelsea’s best and worst players in the defeat, courtesy of 90min’s player ratings.
Cole Palmer: 8/10
If there’s one person you can rely on in this Chelsea squad, it’s Cole Palmer. His stunning goal in the 45th minute placed the Blues 2-0 up before the break. But it was his assist to Carney Chukwuemeka
to cement their victory which earned Palmer his team-best rating.
His deft touch was the start of an impressive finish for Chelsea, who secured their progression to the semi-finals soon after.
Nicolas Jackson: 7/10
Nicolas Jackson earns himself an honourable mention here for his brilliant link-up play alone. His constant runs at the defence and his clever touches set him aside from most players on the pitch.
An excellent ball to Marc Cucurella led to a goal in the 13th minute which gave the impression this would be a walk in the park for Chelsea. And after that he continued to be a threat throughout, even when Leicester were sitting deep in their own half.
Axel Disasi: 3/10
A 3/10 seems generous here. It would’ve been easy to mistake Disasi for Leicester’s new shock signing when he gifted them a goal to give them a fighting chance in the game.
The bizarre own-goal prompted Leicester fans to encourage him to shoot whenever he was in possession. He earns our worst player title for this game.
Raheem Sterling: 4/10
Sterling’s beautiful assist to aid Cole Palmer earns him brownie points in this rating. But his penalty miss soon after set the tone for the rest of what was a pretty bleak outing for the England international.
Fans were quick to make their opinions heard, booing the England international and cheering when he was substituted for final goalscorer Madueke.
He did work hard, but he earns a low rating regardless.
