Chelsea v Dinamo Zagreb ratings: Zakaria 8, Havertz 7; Livakovic 8, Ademi 5

Blues seal 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge in Champions League but Chilwell injury sours victory

CHELSEA RATINGS: Edouard Mendy 7: Back in the starting XI and one of seven changes from the team which lost to Brighton at the weekend. Helpless as poor defending allowed Zagreb to take the early lead. Good save from a Sutalo header at the start of the second half. Getty

Cesar Azpilicueta 7: Ball bounced off the back of the Spaniard’s head, leaving Petkovic with an easy header to make it 1-0 to Zagreb. Fine cross from the Blues captain picked out Havertz in the second half but the German failed to finish. AP

Kalidou Koulibaly 8: Gave Chelsea an early scare when he went down injured and looked in some pain but recovered to boss the Zagbreb attack for rest of game. Could have scored soon after but headed a corner over the Zagreb bar. Booked for foul on Petkovic. Getty

Trevoh Chalobah 8: Thought he’d made it 3-1 but his goal-bound header was inadvertently blocked by Misic. Never put a foot wrong all night in defence and was threat on crosses at other end of pitch. Getty

Ben Chilwell 7: Left-back was far too slow to close down Moharrami before the Iranian supplied the cross for the early Zagreb goal. More involved going forward in the second half and sent one shot into side-netting from a tough angle. Pulled up with a hamstring injury in stoppage time which is a worry for Chelsea and England. Getty

Jorginho 7: Threaded a ball through the Zagreb defence that eventually led to Sterling’s goal and generally pulled the strings as usual from the base of Chelsea's midfield. EPA

Denis Zakaria 8: On-loan Juve midfielder, making his first start for Chelsea, made it 2-1 with a low finish. A physical presence in the middle of the park from the off, neat and tidy in possession and an all-round excellent debut for thee Swiss who was given a standing ovation after being substituted.

Raheem Sterling 8: Couldn’t direct a volley on target after a quarter of an hour but made no mistake two minutes later with a well-placed low finish that he clearly enjoyed. Should have scored again not long after sent a first-time half-volley over bar. AFP

Mason Mount 8: Played a key role in the second goal after a nice give and go with Sterling down right before cutting the ball back for Zakaria. Almost caught out the goalkeeper with free-kick in the second half and the England midfielder looks in great form with the World Cup on horizon. Getty

Kai Havertz 7: Twice picked out Sterling with lovely passes but the England forward sent one shot wide and another over the bar. Headed an Azpilicueta cross straight at the keeper after the break. AP

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 7: Nice backheel ended up at the feet of Sterling before the Chelsea winger scored the opener. Cracked the bar with a curling strike at the start of the second half after a couple of stepovers to beat his man. EPA

SUBS: Conor Gallagher (On for Havertz 64’) 7: Had one strike from outside the box deflected just wide for a corner, saw another effort from a tight angle saved by Livakovic and should have scored with his third attempt but hit his shot straight at the keeper from a few metres out. EPA

Armando Broja (On for Aubameyang 64’) 6: One good run down the right but couldn’t pick out a teammate with the cross. AP

Thiago Silva (On for Koulibaly 64’) 7: Couldn’t keep his header down after getting on the end of a corner soon after coming on. Getty

Ruben Loftus-Cheek (On for Zakaria 70’) 6: Went down in the box but his penalty claims rightly waived away by referee. PA

Christian Pulisic (On for Sterling 83’) N/A. AP

DINAMO ZABGREB: Dominik Livakovic 8: No chance with either goal as the defence was opened up by fine Chelsea attacking. Good save from a Mount free-kick, and denied Gallagher on two occasions in the second half. AFP

Stefan Ristovski 6: On the right of Zagreb’s defence, ran himself to a standstill trying to keep track of Chelsea runners and did a decent job up against Aubameyang. AP

Josip Sutalo 6: Made unfortunate contributions to both Chelsea goals. His sliding interception went straight to Aubameyang ahead of the opener and then his touch on Mount's cross ended up at the feet of Zakaria for the second. Saw a header saved by Mendy just after break. Getty

Dino Peric 6: Lost his footing in the run-up to Chelsea's leveller and couldn’t regain his balance in time to stop Sterling scoring. Getty

Josip Misic 6: Holding midfielder received the first yellow card of the night for clipping the heels of Mount. Sprayed the ball around well enough but found it tough against Chelsea’s movement. EPA

Sadegh Moharrami 6: Iranian started out on the right and supplied the cross that led to Petkovic scoring. Failed to keep out Zakaria’s effort despite a desperate attempt to block on the line. Booked for a late foul on Pulisic. AP

Luka Ivanusec 5: Booked for a foul on Zakaria and generally lost the midfield battle against Chelsea’s impressive debutant. AP

Arijan Ademi 5: Huffed and puffed in midfield with little to show for his efforts. EPA

Bruno Petkovic 7: Headed Zagreb into a surprise sixth-minute lead with a close-range finish and could not fault his workrate at both ends of the pitch. Reuters

Mislav Orsic 6: Scored the winner in the reverse fixture but little chance of a repeat bar one side-footed effort wide of the target 10 minutes into the second half. AP

SUBS: Mahir Emreli (On for Ristovski 70’) 5: No opportunity for Azerbaijani attacker to make an impact. Getty Josip Drmic (On for Petkovic 83’) N/A. Marko Bulat (On for Ademi 83’) N/A. Dario spikic (On for Orsic 90’) N/A.

Denis Zakaria scored on his Chelsea debut as the Blues came from behind to beat Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 at Stamford Bridge and end their Champions League group stage campaign on a positive note.

Chelsea fell behind in the sixth minute when the home defence reacted poorly to a cross and Bruno Petkovic was able to head in from close range.

A well-worked move brought Chelsea their equaliser as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang backheeled the ball to Raheem Sterling inside the box and the England attacker kept his cool to slot home.

On-loan Juventus midfielder Zakaria then sealed a dream debut as he drove in a low shot midway through the first half that squeezed over the line despite Sadegh Moharrami's attempt to clear.

But the game ended on a sour note when England left-back Ben Chilwell pulled up in stoppage time with a hamstring injury putting his World Cup hopes in doubt.

Chilwell grabbed the back of his left thigh after making a sprint, falling to the ground before being helped from the field by Chelsea's medical staff.

"It doesn't look positive, but it's a hamstring. We'll have to scan it and see what it is," Chelsea manager Graham Potter told BT Sport.

Chilwell's Chelsea team mate Reece James has been ruled out of the Qatar tournament after suffering a knee injury, and Manchester City right back Kyle Walker is struggling with a groin problem.

Chelsea finshed top of Group E, three points ahead of AC Milan, who thrashed FC Red Bull Salzburg 4-0 on Wednesday.
