Antonio Rudiger was the guiltiest of the “foot on the ball for long only to make a five-yard pass” routine. He did win a majority of his duels though. Chelsea needed to manage the game for long enough so that a moment of brilliance decided it. On one hand, he made a memorable save for a shot he didn’t have much time to see. Mendy’s save ultimately saw the Blues hold on to the clean sheet, so he deserves credit for that. The Blues did not have a good game save for some brilliant moments from Hakim Ziyech, Jorginho and Kai Havertz though, so taking three points on the day is a huge victory in the grand scheme of things.
