Kai Havertz was anonymous, while Raheem Sterling struggled to get into the game and Joao Felix recorded the Blues' only shot on target of the match. They added 12 more shots but it never felt from the stands that the west London side would trouble the scoresheet with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mykhailo Mudryk and Christian Pulisic finding similar problems upon their introduction.
