Chelsea fans love him and you could see why. Dominant and strong.

Was sent off in last year’s final but didn’t do anything wrong today.

Your rating: 5.71

Tidy as usual on the ball but looked short of pace and energy in the second half.

Your rating: 6.16

N’Golo Kante (central midfield)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 8

Covers the ground like nobody else. Laid on the great chance for Alonso and won the ball back brilliantly all day.

Your rating: 6.86

Tiemoue Bakayoko (central midfield)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 6

Didn’t do anything drastically wrong which counts as good for him this season.

Your rating: 5.71

Marcos Alonso (left midfield)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 7

Wasted a glorious chance to make it 2-0 on the break but defended well enough.

Your rating: 5.95

Eden Hazard (forward)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 8

Scored the goal after winning the penalty and had Phil Jones in knots all afternoon. Superb player.

Olivier Giroud (forward)

Held the ball up well at times but often isolated, particularly in the second half when Chelsea were camped deep.

Your rating: 6.61

Substitutes:

Alvaro Morata (89 minutes)

Your rating: 5.19

Willian (90+1 minutes)

Your rating: 5.43

Manchester United

David de Gea (goalkeeper)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 6

No chance with Hazard’s penalty. Quiet game but a big save from Marcos Alonso in the second half.

Your rating: 5.85

Antonio Valencia (right-back)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 5

Troubled by Eden Hazard and delivery poor in attacking positions.

Your rating: 5.02

Chris Smalling (centre-back)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 5

Not at his best and his partnership with Jones looked vulnerable.

Your rating: 4.83

Phil Jones (centre-back)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 4

Poor. Exposed by Hazard to concede the decisive penalty and uncertain throughout. Missed a good first-half chance.

Your rating: 3.10

Ashley Young (left-back)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 6

Did his best to get forward to provide an attacking threat but not his day.

Your rating: 4.71

Nemanja Matic (central midfield)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 5

The former Chelsea player drew a block from Courtois in the second half but another who was below par.

Ander Herrera (central midfield)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 5

Anonymous and unable to influence affairs.

Your rating: 4.33

Paul Pogba (central midfield)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 5

Only came to life after the break following a strolling first 45 minutes. Should have equalised with a header late on.

Your rating: 4.62

Jesse Lingard (forward)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 5

On the fringes and unable to make the impact that he often does on the big occasion.

Your rating: 4.52

Alexis Sanchez (forward)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 4

Looks jaded, out of sorts and still nowhere near the player United thought they were getting. Extremely poor.

Your rating: 4.49

Marcus Rashford (forward)

Phil McNulty’s rating: 5

Looks short of confidence and struggled to get into the game – but nearly equalised only to be denied by Courtois.

Your rating: 4.16

Substitutes

Romelu Lukaku (73 minutes)

Your rating: 4.38

Anthony Martial (73 minutes)

Your rating: 4.66

Juan Mata (87 minutes)
