Man Utd vs Chelsea: Player Ratings – Fantastic Courtois, Terrible Oscar and Poor Hazard
Chelsea played out a goalless draw with Man Utd at Old Trafford yesterday. This was a second draw in the row for the Blues whereas the Red Devils put an end to their run of consecutive defeats. Man Utd dominated possession and they had more number of chances, but David de Gea made a number of superb saves to keep United in the game.
Let’s see how the Chelsea players fared in the game:
Thibaut Courtois: 8
He made a couple of world class saves in the game: first to deny Wayne Rooney in the first half and second one to block Ander Herrera from close range in the second half.
Branislav Ivanovic: 5
He has gotten over his dreadful start to the season, but he struggled against Anthony Martial during the course of the game.
Kurt Zouma: 7
He partnered John Terry well in defence and produced one superb tackle in the second half.
John Terry: 7
He brought much-needed assurance to the London’s club defence and stood firm against the United attacking threat.

Oscar: 5
He tried, but failed to influence the game.
Pedro: 6
His pace caused problems for Man Utd on occasions. He missed a glorious opportunity in the counter attack during the first half
