Ranking of Chelsea vs Dynamo Kiev players: Giroud gorgeous, Hudson-Odoi brilliant and Alonso superb



[ad_1]

It was a very comfortable evening in Kiev for Chelsea, who fought with a 5-0 victory.

Leading 3-0 to go to Stamford Bridge, Olivier Giroud's goal after five minutes canceled the game tied as he finished at close range.

The Frenchman then added another goal in the first half following a superb ball from Marcos Alonso in the box, with the left-back scoring the score himself.

Giroud completed his hat trick at the hour of play before Callum Hudson-Odoi maintained his beautiful form in the competition with another goal.

The team of Maurizio Sarri will discover his opponents in the quarterfinals of the Europa League on Friday, when the draw will take place in Switzerland.

Kepa Arrizabalaga

As in the first game, he had absolutely nothing to do in the first period, as the Dynamo had not managed a single shot and had never failed to score.

In the second half, he had a big stop to make, which he did well, but he was not tested outside of that. 6

Davide Zappacosta

Whenever the action unfolded on the right side, it was more by Golo Kante and Callum Hudson-Odoi, while the right-back did not show up too much. There was nothing to do defensively, in particular.

Similar in the second period and then came out with an injury. 5

Antonio Rudiger

A few times, the ball was left out, but solid in the tackle and allowed the striker to get out of the match, with a composed appearance and a good reading of the game. A threat of fixed pieces too.

The defense had some tough times in the second half, but the central defender made no big mistake. 7

Andreas Christensen

Like Rudiger, not really tested in the first half, he looked calm and composed on a hard surface with the ball at his feet.

He made two crucial blocks in the second half and clears, but it was really a simple match for him. 7

Marcos Alonso

A really great way to get in shape. A goal and superb badistance, while Denys Boyko had a great save on his free kick.

He did really well, but on defense, he was not tested at all and the match was pretty simple for him, but he did it well. 8

Mateo Kovacic

Play the role of Jorginho and be very solid throughout the match, while seeming very comfortable on the ball.

You can see why Sarri likes it there, playing fast and confident under pressure when needed. 7

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

A superb performance from his first match since January 5th. Powerful, strong, technically superb and direct, he really added a lot to a midfielder who sometimes lacked creativity.

It was unfortunate that his back injury had worsened before, otherwise he would surely be the starter in this position on a regular basis. 9

N & # 39; Golo Kante

Had a lot of freedom on the right and very well connected to Hudson-Odoi. Some flying shots are at the heart of the defense and very good football matches in one touch.

Reposed for the majority of the second half, but good before the defense. 8

Willian

A very good start to the match, which goes down well on the left flank, although two of its centers are not great. However, his game was very good, providing two of the goals of the evening.

He lost some gas in the second half with the work already done, but he still provided some good quality moments. 7

Callum Hudson-Odoi

Some good times to do with Kante in the first period, but not in the offensive positions he would have liked as much.

But at the end of the first half, he showed his talent with decisive help to Alonso. Then, in the second half, he showed his pace and serenity by finishing to get his goal and the fifth of Chelsea. 8

Olivier Giroud

The perfect game, with the perfect hat, left foot, right foot and head spin. It was not just finishing, his complete game was also superb.

We know how good he is able to hold the ball, but he made very good runs to reach his goals and it was the perfect night, playing an important role in the five goals. ten
