ST: Diego Costa – 5/10
After his blood boiled following an elbow from Fernandinho, a red card seemed inevitable for the feisty striker. He calmed himself down, but would have been equally annoyed that he was not provided with a single chance until hitting the post in stoppage time. His first touch was poor time and time again.
Substitutes
Kurt Zouma – 6/10
Came on at the break for Terry and provided Chelsea with more of a physical presence in defence.
Juan Cuadrado – 5/10
Made little impact coming off the bench and could have done more to prevent City’s third goal.
Radamel Falcao – 6/10
Was brought on with 12 minutes to go, but the Citizens went 2-0 up within moments. Nearly squeezed the ball through Hart in stoppage time after Costa’s strike had rebounded to him off the post.
