Chelsea endured a frustrating 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa, with individual performances varying across the board. While Neto impressed with his attacking play, Malo Gusto had a night to forget. Here’s how the Blues are rated in the dramatic loss:

Neto – 7.5
A promising display in attack. Registered an assist for Enzo Fernández’s goal and caused problems for Villa’s defence.

Enzo Fernández – 7.5
Scored the opener with a well-timed finish. A solid display, though he was unfortunate to play Rashford onside for Villa’s equaliser.

Cole Palmer – 5.5
Shifted to the right wing but struggled to make a decisive impact, missing a few key chances.

Christopher Nkunku – 5
Played on the left flank but failed to influence the game significantly.

Filip Jorgensen – 4.5
Made a crucial mistake for Aston Villa’s winner, allowing the ball to slip through. Could be at risk of losing his starting role to Robert Sánchez.

Malo Gusto – 3.5
A night to forget. Struggled defensively, giving the ball away multiple times and failing to contain Marcus Rashford in the second half.

The rest:
Trevoh Chalobah – N/A, Levi Colwill – 6, Marc Cucurella – 6.5, Reece James – 6, Moises Caicedo – 6, Tosin Adarabioyo – 6, Jadon Sancho – 6
