In an interview following the game, Alexis Saelemaekers voiced his vehement criticism of his teammate.
got lucky with the rabona goal, let’s be honest, but that luck was deserved as he was the best player on the pitch. Always on the move, clever with the ball, picking out his teammates and much more.
Loftus-Cheek (1): The Englishman got into good positions, which we saw just before the first goal, and he also used his body well to keep possession on multiple occasions. Nothing spectacular, but certainly good.
Leao (2): It certainly looked like he tried to be more direct, which many of us want to see, with one header just wide and a nice shot saved. The end product of his impressive runs can still be better but this is a step in the right direction.
Morata (3): We’ll give him the benefit of the doubt here, he has only trained with the squad for a few days. That being said, his movement looked good and he worked hard in every situation. The end product, shots as well as passes, could have been a bit better though.
