CHELSEA avoided heading into their Premier League opener off the back of defeat.

Substitute Lesley Ugochukwu hammered home a late leveller after Marcus Thuram’s opener.

Chelsea looked bright in stages but lacked a killer instinct in front of goal with some good individual performances.

Here is how Jack Figg rated the Blues.

Robert Sanchez – 5

Started in place of new signing Filip Jorgensen but was given little chance of preventing Inter’s opening goal. Looked nervy on the ball at times.

Malo Gusto – 7

Drifted into midfield to make a diamond at times. Produced some good chances down the right when given the freedom to go forward.

Wesley Fofana – 6

Produced an excellent tackle on Joaquin Correa and looks to be finding his feet again after being ruled out last season through injury.

6

Levi Colwill – 5

Lost Thuram for the goal and showed more signs of hot-headedness after clashing with Inter’s Francesco Acerbi off the ball. Hit the post after the break and almost levelled.

Marc Cucurella – 6

Looked energetic on the left and produced some good crosses into the box. Comfortable on the ball in midfield in a sign he could be preferred to Ben Chilwell under Maresca.

Enzo Fernandez – 5

Captained the side as he looks to move past his recent race storm. But the Argentine lacked creativity on the ball with his place in the starting 11 under question.

6

Romio Lavia – 6

Looked controlled in the deep-lying role and could be key to allowing Chelsea’s more advanced midfielders to shine this season.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 6

Made some good runs into the box but found himself short of space at times to get a good shot off.

6

Noni Madueke – 7

Bright on the right flank but was without any link up play. Will be sweating his future amid the arrival of Pedro Neto.

Mykhailo Mudryk – 5

Showed bright sparks of energy on the ball but it often lead to little. Good promise but lacking final product.

Marc Guiu – 6

Very aggressive up front on and off the ball. Almost caught out Inter keeper Yann Sommer on the ball.
