Edouard Mendy - Newcastle's press ensured the Senegal international was tested with the ball at his feet to mixed success. The goalkeeper was comfortable in his usual business of claiming the ball in the air and making saves, however. Produced an essential stop against Sean Longstaff in the second period. Could do nothing for Joe Willock's strike. 6.
Cesar Azpilicueta - After starting the match in the back three, the Blues captain was soon sent to wing-back for the afternoon. He showed plenty of endeavour to get up and down the wing but had some sketchy moments up against the likes of Joe Willock. Overall solid but perhaps didn't offer what Chelsea needed. 6.
Trevoh Chalobah - Survived a handball shout at the close of the first half but otherwise put in a decent defensive display but looked to Mendy as his passing option too often. 6.
