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.
