There were numerous great performances all over the pitch for Chelsea yesterday in their 3-0 win over Aston Villa.
Cole Palmer took home the Man of the Match award, after promising friend and opponent Morgan Rogers that he would do just that when the two sides met.
He was certainly not the only impressive performer. Moises Caicedo wowed yet again, this time after starting in the right-back position.
The game brought a rare Stamford Bridge clean sheet, which will no doubt give good confidence to goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

The Spaniard survived calls for deputy Filip Jorgensen to start in his place, and repaid the faith put in him by his manager.
Renato Veiga was quick to give encouragement to Sanchez during the game, even at a time when the crowd were beginning to get frustrated with what they were seeing.
An assured performance between the sticks has seen the goalkeeper make his way into WhoScored’s Premier League Team of the Week, joining Palmer who contributed a goal and an assist.
The final Chelsea member of the squad to be recognised is Levi Colwill, who hardly put a foot wrong yet again at the back.
Chelsea set for big changes at the back after Wesley Fofana injury
The normal back two has been Colwill and Wesley Fofana, however that is set to be interrupted in the coming weeks after the Frenchman was forced off with an injury.
Fofana hinted that the issue wasn’t as bad as first feared, although he will certainly not be in the starting side for Wednesday’s game against Southampton.
It is likely that Benoit Badiashile is brought in to replace him in the starting side, meaning that there will be three left-footed players in the back line alongside Marc Cucurella.
The Spaniard really impressed again at the back for Chelsea against Villa, picking up the assist for the first goal scored by Nicolas Jackson.
