James - Thank you (8)
He came on the football field and showed what a real captain can do. It's great to see him back in action after his first appearance since December 2023.
James' accurate cross made it easy for Jackson to score the winning goal. It's difficult to value a rating for his performance as he spent a short time on the football field. But he definitely deserves 'thank you' from each Chelsea fan.
Palmer - 8
He set up Mudryk's opening goal with a fantastic through ball that sliced through the Forest defence. Remained dangerous for the entire match.
Silva - 7.5
The Brazilian center-back delivered a confident and strong performance, dominating his battle against Wood. He was unlucky not to score when his clever header hit the post in the second half.
Mudryk - 6.5
It was a superb start to the game from Misha, he was very active which led to the first Chelsea goal. The rest of the game, though, was a contrast to his performance at the start, as Mudryk couldn't find the place for him on the football field.
Jackson - 6
In the first half, he repeatedly got stuck in dead-end situations and was to blame for the Forest goal because he failed to track Boly's run. However, he redeemed himself somewhat by heading into an empty net for the winning goal.
Badiashile - 4.5
The start of the game was a nightmare for Benoit: unnecessary foul with a yellow card and bad position during the first Forest goal. He kinda settled into the game later but the damage was already done.
The rest: Caicedo - 8, Sterling - 7, Petrovic - 6.5, Cucurella - 6.5, Gallagher - 6.5, Chalobah - 6.5, Madueke - 6, Nkunku - 6. Gusto - 6.
