Davide Zappacosta (for Hazard, 89min) 5/10. Not enough time to make any impact as Chelsea saw out the victory. Reuters
Kepa Arrizabalaga 6/10. Spanish goalkeeper made a nervy start with some less than convincing early saves, but his authority grew as Chelsea took control. Good late save on Alexandre Lacazette. AP Photo
Cesar Azpilicueta 7/10. Chelsea’s Mr Dependable produced some important interventions including a clearance in front of goal in the first half. Never looked too troubled. Getty Images
David Luiz 7/10. On a night when Chelsea needed the Brazilian defender to be at his best, he delivered. A calm and disciplined presence in the heart of defence. EPA
Andreas Christensen 6/10. Like Kepa, the Danish centre-back started a bit jittery and grew into the game. Made two fine interventions to stop Pierre-Emerick Aubamyeang. Reuters
Emerson 7/10. One of Chelsea’s most effective players going forward during a cagey first half, the Brazilian full-back also created Olivier Giroud’s opening goal with a smart low cross. Getty Images
N’Golo Kante 6/10. Clearly nowhere close to full fitness, the French midfielder lacked his usual energy and dynamism, but was never overrun in midfield. Getty Images
Jorginho 7/10. The two sides of the Italian midfielder were on display in Baku. At first anonymous as he struggled to impact the game, before taking control of the midfield in the second half. Getty Images
Mateo Kovacic 6/10. Like his midfield colleagues, the Croatian started slowly before helping Chelsea take charge of the midfield during a second half in which the Blues dominated. EPA
Pedro 7/10. His usual busy self, the Spanish winger was a constant nuisance to Arsenal and finished well to give Chelsea a 2-0 lead. EPA
Olivier Giroud 8/10. Struggled to impact the first half, but dominated Arsenal’s defence after the break. The French striker’s opening goal was a thing of beauty – a smart, low diving header – before he won the penalty and set up the fourth against his former side. Star man. Reuters
Eden Hazard 8/10. It was felt pre-match that Chelsea’s fate rested on the Belgian forward’s performance. Set up the second goal and scored the last two. What a way to depart. Reuters
Willian (for Pedro, 71min) 6/10. Brought on to bring calm and retain possession in the opposition half, the Brazilian winger fulfilled his duties. AFP
Ross Barkley (for Kovacic, 75min) 5/10. Provided fresh legs in midfield to help Chelsea close out the win. Getty Images
