Chelsea

Petr Cech

Perhaps a surprise inclusion these days but utterly unflustered and reliable. Rarely called upon to excel but still oozed authority 6

Branislav Ivanovic

Big influence on the right, at both ends, or dropping into central zones to assist fellow defenders. A nuisance at attacking set plays 7

Gary Cahill

Exorcised his Kane-inspired nightmares by imposing himself whenever he could on the striker, attention that eventually resulted in a booking 7

John Terry

Had already proved a tower of defensive strength before venturing upfield to volley his team ahead. Inspired those around him 8

César Azpilicueta

Ended bloodied and bandaged having taken Dier’s knee to the head but still flung himself at everything in the closing stages 7

Ramires

The energy in the centre of midfield and, while initially eclipsed by Spurs’ young centre, he was a pest when his team sought to counter 6

Kurt Zouma

No Nemanja Matic but generally succeeded in starving Eriksen of space in which to thrive, which was all José Mourinho asked 6

Willian

Initially rather careless but grew into the contest and played a role in both goals to show why Mourinho leans so heavily upon him 7

Cesc Fàbregas

Sluggish at times, perhaps hindered by recent fitness issues, but retained ability to thread a decisive pass from which Costa could thrive 6

Eden Hazard

The one Chelsea creator who drove them forward throughout, slippery and skilful with the ball stuck to his instep 7

Diego Costa

At his spiky best, riling Dier and escaping a caution for palming off the youngster. How Spurs craved someone similarly streetwise 7

Tottenham Hotspur

Hugo Lloris

Wrongfooted by deflections for both Chelsea goals, with the reality he did well to deny Cahill and Fàbregas scant consolation 6

Kyle Walker

Eager to push on down the flank but exposed by Hazard’s slippery running and not tight enough to Costa at Chelsea’s second 5

Eric Dier

Riled by Costa from the moment they clashed five minutes in. Booked and perhaps fortunate subsequent offences went unnoticed 4

Jan Vertonghen

Should have taken the lead to counter Costa’s aggression, and does not appear to direct or influence those around him as much as he should 5

Danny Rose

Tested by Hazard but offered pace and width going forward. His eagerness was refreshing and he might have deserved better 7

Ryan Mason

A blur of energy in Spurs’ midfield, driving his team forward, but he must ally that with better composure in his shooting 6

Nabil Bentaleb

Looks a classy and comfortable player, working in tandem with Mason, and his influence will grow in time. Never overawed 7

Andros Townsend

Direct and eager in possession to test Azpilicueta, plenty of urgency down the flank, although unable to conjure a telling delivery 6

Christian Eriksen

Belted an early free-kick on to the bar to promise much but, thereafter, was otherwise peripheral where Spurs needed him to be integral 5

Nacer Chadli

Should offer so much more given his physique but he air-kicked at his best opportunity and only offered occasional flashes of his quality 5

Harry Kane

Dropped deep to inspire two early chances, dribbling at panicked opponents, but denied a goal by Terry’s fine block 6
