David De Gea - 6
Didn't have an awful lot to do but he was beaten at his near post by Willian's strike, with which he was noticeably disappointed.

Solid as usual at the back and going forward. Provided width down the right flank. Booked.
Victor Lindelof - 6
Pulled out of the centre of defence by Eden Hazard for Chelsea's goal, leaving space for Willian in behind.
Chris Smalling - 6
Out of position for Willian's goal but largely handled what Chelsea's attack had to offer.

Defended well against Blues wing back Victor Moses and provided an attacking outlet down the left.
Scott McTominay - 6.5
Allowed Willian to run off him to score but managed to keep Hazard at bay.
Nemanja Matic - 7.5
Midfielder left an unnoticed elbow on Morata but broke up the play and made important interceptions. Booked.

Recalled by Jose Mourinho to the starting line-up and showed his tricks and flicks as he tried to drive his side forward in the second half.

Romelu Lukaku - 8.5
Started the move for his first-half goal and finished it off with a clinical strike. Set up Lingard's winner.
