Chelsea advanced to the third round of the Carabao Cup with a 2-1 win over AFC Wimbledon, thanks to goals from Noni Madueke and Enzo Fernandez.

Robert Sanchez – In the first half, he gave away a penalty while attempting to clear the ball and had little more to do. In the final stages of the game, I claimed the ball more effectively. 6.

Bashir Humphreys – The academy product had a great shift at right back and kept the ball moving well. When Levi Colwill was replaced in the final 30 minutes, he was moved to the centre of defence. 6.

Axel Disasi – Didn’t have much to do but did a good job covering for Humphreys. In certain duels, he could have competed with greater strength in the first half, but he was a leader of the backline in the second. 6.

Levi Colwill – A consistent performance from the 20-year-old, who once again demonstrated his exceptional passing down the left flank. Even after taking a knock, had the ability to battle and win a one-versus-one as Ali Al-Hamadi sought to break through after being knocked down moments earlier. Subbed off shortly after, hopefully as a precaution. 7.

Marc Cucurella – A few errant touches but delivered some threatening balls and was part of some promising one-two play with Ian Maatsen. 6.

Conor Gallagher – Made things seem easy at times against League Two competition, but couldn’t find the proper pocket of space to make a significant difference. Nonetheless, one of the Blues’ more dangerous players. 6.

Lesley Ugochukwu – Played often between Chelsea’s centre defenders and collected the ball to start Chelsea’s attack. Great second half tracking back to create a fantastic challenge. 6.

Noni Madueke – Added excitement to the Stamford Bridge crowd, and it was his deft footwork that earned the Blues a penalty, which the 21-year-old converted. Added to his confidence in the second quarter and will need to keep it up to contend with Raheem Sterling. 8.

Ian Maatsen – A ball player who is always looking for the next opportunity. Alex Bass’ clearing was stopped, allowing Enzo Fernandez to score. In the final minutes, the defence performed admirably. 7.

Diego Moreira – The former Benfica starlet got off to a good start but faded late in the half. 5.

Mason Burstow – Couldn’t convert a number of Chelsea chances but appeared to link nicely with Nicolas Jackson when he came on. 6.

SUBS

Nicolas Jackson made an early impact, combining nicely with Maatsen and Burstow to find space in and around the AFC Wimbledon box. 6.

Malo Gusto – Quickly combined with Madueke after entering the field, continuing a bright start to life at Stamford Bridge. 7.

Enzo Fernandez – A confident finish from the World Cup winner put Chelsea ahead when Bass was distracted. When he was on the ball, he seemed to bring a threat. 7.

Moises Caicedo – Consistent presence in the centre of the field, keeping the ball moving. 6.
