Chelsea player ratings vs Man City: Robert Sanchez needs to go! Blues goalkeeper gifts Erling Haaland the winner as Enzo Maresca's side throw away early lead with Cole Palmer anonymous against old club

Robert Sanchez (3/10):

Fortunate Marmoush was offside after spilling Gundogan's shot. Unlucky with Gvardiol's strike and well-beaten by Foden's, but showcased his appalling decision-making when he rushed out of his net for no reason before Haaland's goal. He's not good enough.

Reece James (5/10):

Up against Marmoush and struggled to keep pace with his trickery. Barely got out of his own half and was subbed for Gusto.

Trevoh Chalobah (4/10):

Passed the ball well but was bullied by Haaland before he scored. Perhaps there is no shame in that, but he did have a head start on the Norway international, and was monstered by the striker. Got nowhere near Foden, either.

Levi Colwill (5/10):

Picked up a silly booking for time-wasting after 25 minutes. Struggled to find a real rhythm thereafter and was beaten by Haaland before Foden's goal.

Marc Cucurella (6/10):

Tracked Nunes into the box and attempted to make a tackle before Gvardiol scored but could not quite get there. Adventurous in his dribbling and stood up to Foden well.

Moises Caicedo (5/10):

Reliable on the ball but his defensive impact waned as City established a stranglehold on the game.

Enzo Fernandez (5/10):

Did not play well. Normally so tenacious and capable both on and off the ball, but was regularly bypassed in build-up and struggled to dictate from deep.

Noni Madueke (6/10):

Couldn't miss when played in by Jackson. Got very little change out of Gvardiol but never let his head drop, to his credit.

Cole Palmer (4/10):

Wasted a golden early chance to play in Jackson. City took care of their former star comfortably and he barely had a chance to influence the game. If he is to become truly world-class, one has to think he needs to find a way to make sure his impact cannot be dulled to such an extent.

Nicolas Jackson (6/10):

Great play to take advantage of Khusanov's mistake and find Madueke for the first goal. Frustrated in his attempts to score himself but was a handful until he was subbed on the hour for Nkunku.

Jadon Sancho (5/10):

Always willing to run at his man but didn't get beyond Nunes at all. Subbed for Neto.

Christopher Nkunku (5/10):

Replaced Jackson. Had next to no impact.

Malo Gusto (5/10):

On for James. Beaten in the air before City's third.

Pedro Neto (6/10):

Came on for Sancho. Played a couple of decent crosses into the box but nothing came of them.

Enzo Maresca (5/10):

His changes failed to impact the game at all and he could only watch on as Chelsea squandered a golden opportunity to beat the champions. Some of that comes down to profligacy, but he seemed to be an observer as the game slipped away from his side.
