Chelsea were denied another victory by Daniel Sturridge’s stunning late equaliser for Liverpool. Here’s how we rated each Blues player in the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Kepa Arrizabalaga: 8

Pulled off a number of important saves but could do nothing to stop Sturridge’s thunderbolt equaliser.

Cesar Azpilicueta: 7

A solid effort from one of the Blues’ most reliable men.

Antonio Rudiger:  8

Goal-line clearance after Mohand Salah rounded Kepa proved pivotal to Chelsea’s draw.

David Luiz: 7

Caught out several times at the back in the first half but atoned with a goal-line clearance.

Marcos Alonso: 7

Played his part well as Chelsea attempted to stretch Liverpool out wide then thread balls back through the middle.

N’Golo Kante: 7

Sat deeper than on previous outings this term in a bid to thwart the Reds’ attacking threats, and performed well again.

Jorginho: 7

Consistent both in keeping shape and creating from deep. One of Maurizio Sarri’s top generals.

Mateo Kovacic: 8

Threaded a fine ball through to Hazard for the opening goal to cap an intelligent performance.

Eden Hazard: 9

Another game, another goal for the red-hot Belgium forward who is already en route to the 40-goal target boss Sarri thinks he can hit.

Willian: 7

Always a willing worker and stretched Liverpool as Chelsea’s forwards dominated.

Olivier Giroud: 7

Led the line well again in another unselfish performance creating space for team-mates.

Alvaro Morata: 6

Picked up where Giroud had left off in holding a high line and battling to link Chelsea’s play.

Victor Moses: 6

Looked to keep a high tempo but in truth did not have too much to do after coming on.
