7. It’s a tale of two halves for Reece James. The right-back was going forward and putting dangerous crosses early on. He was sharp and one of the most dangerous players for Chelsea. The second half was a totally different story, however, as the Englishman found it much more difficult going forward. He also often had defensive lapses that put the backline in serious trouble, including losing <a rel=. RB. Chelsea. REECE JAMES

7. The Dane did a great job containing the dangerous Jamie Vardy in the first half, neutralizing him for the most part. He kept pace with the striker and was not afraid to be physical. While he was outshone by his partner, Christensen had a solid, solid performance in the back.. CB. Chelsea. ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN

Chelsea. ANTONIO RUDIGER. 9. It’s Antonio Rudiger’s world and we are living in it. The German might have singlehandedly saved a point for the Blues today. His two set-piece headers were crucially important, especially considering that Chelsea just couldn’t get anything going on that side of the pitch in the second half. He provided a spark and intensity that the team needed and essentially willed the team to the draw.. CB

CESAR AZPILICUETA. 7. Another solid, albeit quiet game from the captain. Azpilicueta was very active going forward early, linking up with his countryman Pedro often. When Chelsea was getting overrun, he devoted himself defensive, shutting a lot of holes.. LB. Chelsea
