He played one key pass during his time on the pitch and had one shot on goal against the Swiss giants. Kone also completed an impressive 91% of his passes and succeeded with his only dribble attempt in the match. The Malian also helped out defensively, winning two duels and making one clearance in the match.

Kana-Biyik completed his only dribble attempt and made four progressive carries in the match. He also won his only aerial duel and one of his two ground duels. Jadon Sancho The winger was given 27 minutes from the bench as Chelsea demolished Aston Villa 4-1 at Villa Park. Sancho made two key passes in the match but failed to complete any dribble attempts. He also had a 95% pass accuracy but could only win one of his three duels in a poor defensive showing for his loan side.
