Brobbey wins Colwill battle - player ratings for Sunderland's win over Chelsea

Robin Roefs: The Dutch goalkeeper was rarely tested but dealt comfortably with the attempts that came his way. 7Thomas Meunier: A solid and disciplined display at full-back while marking danger man Morgan Rogers. The Belgian also produced a superb tackle in the box midway through the second half. 8Nordi Mukiele: The returning defender was a huge presence at the back, combining physicality with composure. 7Luke O'Nien: The defender was fortunate not to concede a penalty after making contact with Cole Palmer but VAR judged it to be just outside the box. He also tested the Chelsea goal early in the second half. 6Reinildo Mandava: It was a busy afternoon for the full-back, who was heavily tested down his flank by different big-name attackers. 7Trai Hume: Hume saw a well-struck left-footed volley blocked in the opening moments of the game, while his defensive work was typically diligent throughout. 7Noah Sadiki: Produced a disciplined display, filling gaps in midfield and frustrating Chelsea's attackers. 7Granit Xhaka: The Sunderland captain went off injured after less than three minutes. N/AEnzo Le Fee: The Frenchman's penalty sent Mike Penders the wrong way and proved the difference. 7Chemsdine Talbi: Produced a wonderful cross in the 15th minute to create a chance for Brian Brobbey and played an important role linking defence and attack on the counter. 7Brian Brobbey: A powerful presence up front. An early effort was scuffed wide, but he grew into the game and dominated Levi Colwill in several aerial duels. He came close to a brilliant solo goal before winning the penalty. 8Subs:Jules Ahoka (on 4, Xhaka): Booked shortly after coming on but played well despite being on a yellow card and was key in winning the ball in midfield. 7Wilson Isador (on 67, Brobbey): A tough ask following Brobbey and missed a big chance late on but showed his energy to help his team over the line. 6Angulo (on 88, Talbi)Rigg (on 88, Le Fee)Subs not used: Ellborg, Danso, Methalie, Tutierov, FofanaMike Penders: There was talk of number one Emiliano Martinez returning, but the young number two kept his place. The Belgian was sent the wrong way for the penalty and could do little to prevent the goal, but made a great save from Isador to keep it at 1-0. 6Marco Palestra: Having suffered injury setbacks and still appearing to adapt to the league, the young Italian put in a positive attacking display and could have earned an assist with a cross midway through the first half. 6Wesley Fofana: A stable performance after a shaky one last week at home to Manchester United. 6Levi Colwill: Had a difficult afternoon and failed to deal with Brian Brobbey, who caught him out for a chance midway through the half before winning the penalty. Although it appeared a harsh decision, Colwill could have handled the situation better. He was then taken off at half-time having also been booked. 4Pep Chavarria: An excellent early block prevented what looked a near-certain goal. He also delivered a dangerous cross, but nobody attacked it. 6Moises Caicedo: Largely anonymous in midfield before moving to become a makeshift centre-back in the second half. 5Romeo Lavia: Operated as a deep-lying playmaker but saw a long-range effort fail to trouble the goalkeeper. 6Jordan Henderson: Returned to the starting line-up in a decent but unremarkable display at his former club. 5Cole Palmer: Palmer's brilliant first touch and drive into the penalty area could have won a spot-kick when he was brought down by Luke O'Nien, but the incident was deemed to have taken place outside the box. 6Morgan Rogers: Headed a good opportunity wide midway through the first half and was largely peripheral. 5Pedro Neto: Neto was ineffective up front and taken off in the 62nd minute. 5Subs:Estevao Willian (on 46, Colwill): The Brazilian showed threat after coming on. 6Danny Welbeck (on 62, Neto): Added presence in the box, highlighted by a glancing header going wide moments after coming on. 6Malo Gusto (on 62, Palestra): A quiet display in his 100th Premier League appearance. 6Geovany Quenda (on 79, Chavarria)Emegha (on 87, Henderson)Subs not used: Sharman-Lowe, Anselmino, Nicoll-Jazuli, Barco
