Player Ratings v Chelsea
Taylor - Superb. One excellent save from Lampard, came and collected superbly (apart from once) and handling throughout was sound to say the least.
Tebily - Best performance of the season so far and one superb clearance off the line after Taylors only mistake of the game.
Kenna - Another solid performance at left back so much so that he forced Gronkjaer into switching wings.
Cunningham - Back to his best. Marshalled the back four well against a formidable strike force.
Purse - Efficient. Got caught out of position a couple of times but hardly lost an ariel challenge.
Johnson - His usual industrial self and kept Bridges overlaps down the flank to a minimum throughout.
Savage - Never let Makelele settle, picked up his customary yellow card and could have given Blues the lead - the usual Robbie therefore!
Clemence - Excellent performance in keeping the threat of Lampard at bay for the full ninety minutes.
Hughes - Did well on the left of midfield and linked well with Kenna.
Morrison - Good first half but tired and went off the boil during the second period.
John - Superb performance. Held the ball-up well and worked tirelessly for ninety minutes.
Subs.
Lazaridis - Caused Johnson problems so much so that the Chelsea full-back was booked for one foul and duly substituted thereafter.
Kirovski - Did well in the ten minutes in which he played.
Carter - Only used to waste precious time close to the final whistle.
