Andreas Christensen 6 – Tried to battle on after picking up an injury but had to be taken off at the break. AFP
Cesar Azpilicueta 8 – Struck the post early on and was always in the way of Brighton attacks. An outstanding performance at the back from the experienced centre-back. AFP

Reece James 6 – On the receiving end of a strong challenge in the 26th minute that cut his evening short. Reuters
SUB: Marcos Alonso (James, 27) 6 – Stretched the play up the left flank but was ineffective for the most part. Spent most the game defending. AP Photo
SUB: N’Golo Kante (Hudson-Odoi 67) 7 – Calmed the game down when he got on to the pitch as Chelsea began to gain control. AFP
Dan Burn 7 – Won a lot of challenges and maintained a level of physicality for Graham Potter's side to help get Brighton moving forward. Reuters
Solly March 6 – Worked hard going forward and in defence but couldn't find much with his crosses into the box. AFP
Yves Bissouma 8 – An exemplary performance from Bissouma, who was physical against Chelsea and matched their intensity. Caught a number of the Chelsea midfielders napping to take possession and showed confidence carrying the ball forward. Reuters
Tariq Lamptey 7 – Put in an impressive display against his former club which may make some home fans ask why they sold him. He was tricky on the ball and showed his pace on the flank, often forcing Chelsea players to have to foul him to stop his progress. AFP
Alexis Mac Allister 6 – His freekick asked a question of Edouard Mendy. Played with creative freedom and always looked to play progressively. AFP
