Chelsea 1-4 Celtic: Chelsea player ratings after embarrassing defeat


 Chelsea suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Celtic in their pre-season friendly, leaving much to be desired from Enzo Maresca's team. Here are the player ratings from the dismal performance, according to Football London:

Robert Sanchez - 4/10

Sanchez had a mixed game, making some smart stops but also showing poor distribution, which contributed to Celtic's third goal.

Reece James - 5/10

James struggled in his new inverted role, looking uncomfortable and failing to make an impact.

Wesley Fofana - 3/10

Fofana had a difficult game, showing silky feet in possession but struggling defensively, particularly for Celtic's opener.

Benoit Badiashile - 3/10

Badiashile was exposed early on and continued to struggle, looking the most expendable of the back three.

Levi Colwill - 3/10

Colwill formed a back three in possession but was not alert for the Celtic opener and struggled throughout.

Romeo Lavia - 5/10

Lavia showed glimpses of his quality but shirked his defensive duties, leaving the backline exposed.

Carney Chukwuemeka - 5/10

Chukwuemeka started brightly but faded, missing a golden chance to put Chelsea ahead.

Noni Madueke - 5/10

Madueke looked quick but was frustrated by his teammates' failure to find him free on the right flank.

Christopher Nkunku - 5/10

Nkunku missed several opportunities, including a powerful header and a close-range effort.

Mykhaylo Mudryk - 4/10

Mudryk faded badly, failing to help Colwill defensively and being hooked at half-time.

Marc Guiu - 6/10

Guiu showed some nice touches and didn't look daunted by the occasion, but was unlucky not to win a penalty.

Substitutes:

Raheem Sterling - 7/10

Sterling nearly made an immediate impact, striking the woodwork and terrorizing Anthony Ralston down the left.

Lesley Ugochukwu - 5/10

Ugochukwu struggled to impose himself on the game.

Malo Gusto - 5/10

Gusto had a poor cameo, with both goals coming from his side.

Andrey Santos - 5/10

Santos was not involved enough in the centre of midfield.

Tosin Adarabioyo - 4/10

Adarabioyo was left wanting as Johnston raced through to make it 4-0.

Lucas Bergstrom - N/A

Bergstrom replaced Sanchez but had little to do.

Angelo - N/A

Angelo was not involved enough to warrant a rating.

Renato Veiga - N/A

Veiga was not involved enough to warrant a rating.

Chelsea's performance was a worrying sign for Enzo Maresca's team, with much work to be done in pre-season.
