Chelsea player ratings vs Morecambe: Joao Felix provides timely reminder as Tosin Adarabioyo steps up | OneFootball

The Blues made light work of their League Two counterparts

Chelsea are safely through to the FA Cup fourth round after an emphatic win over Morecambe.

Here’s how Enzo Maresca’s side rated at Stamford Bridge...

Filip Jorgensen 5

Managed to have an oddly erratic game despite keeping a clean sheet in a comprehensive win. Ropey under the high ball and at set-pieces.

Reece James 6

Back after two months out with latest hamstring problem and given 45 minutes. Corners caused plenty of problems, including in lead up to penalty.

Axel Disasi 5

Missed two big chances at 0-0 when heading over from close range. Passing was loose and ruffled by the giant presence of Dackers.

Tosin Adarabioyo 8

Remarkable afternoon on the attacking front. Almost apologetic as long-range strike deflected in to open scoring. Went close with a better hit from even further soon after, before striking a brilliant third.

Two-goal hero: Tosin Adarabioyo enjoyed a fine game for Chelsea.

Renato Veiga 6

Tasked with inverting to bolster an otherwise light midfield. Did not exactly look comfortable against Ben Tollitt. Nice dummy for Tosin’s second goal.

Romeo Lavia 6

Returned after missing five games over Christmas with hamstring issue. No room to play in crowded middle of the park but was tidy enough. Withdrawn in pre-planned half-time change.

Christopher Nkunku 6

Really poor penalty from the Frenchman in a quiet display. Made some amends with smart finish on the rebound to ultimately kill tie after half-time.

Joao Felix 8

Can frustrate, but was Chelsea’s most likely source of an opening in the first-half. Showed class with two brilliant long-range efforts after the break.

Pedro Neto 6

One terrific burst from inside his own half early on, but then found space to run hard to come by. Replaced at the break, presumably with a view to Bournemouth on Tuesday.

Marc Guiu 5

Teenager’s first non-European start for the club but largely crowded out, bar one shot into the side-netting.

Tyrique George 7

Prospect looks at home in the first-team and delighted home crowd with some of his trickery. Picked up a pair of assists, albeit with plenty of work to be done by the scorer.

Substitutes

Malo Gusto (James 46’) 6

Won’t have had many more comfortable outings.

Marc Cucurella (Lavia 46’) 7

Gave Chelsea a greater air of authority after the break.

Jadon Sancho (Neto 46’) 6

Tough to pick up as he drifted across the pitch.
