Chelsea had difficulty in breaking Plymouth’s defense. However, here are two players who did very well in the game.
1) Ceaser Azpilicueta: The Chelsea Captain scored a brilliant backheel to equalize for Chelsea. Apart from that, he was a constant threat throughout the game. Azpilicueta had 6 shots against Plymouth, this is one fewer than he has managed in his last 17 premier league games (7). Azpilicueta has now scored at least one goal for Chelsea in the last 7 seasons.
2) Kepa Arrizabalaga : The Chelsea star continues to help Chelsea with his penalty saves. Plymouth was awarded a penalty kick few minutes to the end of the extra time. The goalkeeper once again guessed right and saved the penalty. He was at alert throughout the game.
