Football Italia’s Player of the Match was Atalanta’s Charles De Ketelaere.

Atalanta 2-1 Chelsea – Player Ratings

Atalanta: Carnesecchi 6; Kossounou 7, Djimsiti 6, Kolasinac 6.5; Bellanova N/A, De Roon 7, Ederson 6.5, Bernasconi 6; De Ketelaere 8, Lookman 6; Scamacca 7

Best Atalanta player: De Ketelaere – Providing the assist for Atalanta’s equaliser and scoring the goal that put the Serie A side in the lead, the Belgian was the most dangerous of La Dea’s attacking trident.

Lowest Atalanta rating: Lookman – Hard to pick a ‘worst’ player after such a brave performance all-round but many expected more from the Nigerian forward tonight, who looked the weakest out of himself, Scamacca and De Ketelaere.

Coach: Palladino 8 – Hosting the ‘world champions’ was always going to be a tricky ask for the coach and his Atalanta side but they managed the game perfectly. Even an early injury to Bellanova could not disrupt the flow and stop Atalanta picking up the three points.

Best Chelsea player: Reece James – Settling in well into his more advanced role and regularly performing well for Chelsea, it was another good game for the Englishman.

Lowest Chelsea rating: Sanchez – Either shows up as Yashin reborn or a blind hyena, it was the latter tonight as he looked shaky and perhaps could have done better to prevent the winner.

Coach: Maresca 6 – Came into the match as favourites but underestimated his opposition on the night, the coach was unable to salvage the game and faces the long trip home with nothing to show for it.
