8Wesley Fofana: Alongside Pedro Neto, he failed to pick up Ander Barrenetxea as Sociedad created an early chance. 6Maxence Lacroix: Already vocal at the heart of Chelsea's back three, Lacroix impressed early on but appeared to tire after only recently returning following his participation at the World Cup.

7Reece James: Another World Cup participant who was not quite at his best, but his trademark cross set up Joao Pedro's second goal. He grew into the contest and produced some neat creative moments in the second half before being substituted.

He headed his team back in front before racing clear and slotting past Alex Remiro in the 77th minute to seal victory. He naturally faded as the game wore on after only recently returning to training.
