Chelsea's second most expensive signing is starting to live up to his huge price tag, but the same can't be said for their record buy

ENZO FERNANDEZ may have stolen the show but it was not enough for Chelsea who drew 1-1 to Manchester City.

Raheem Sterling fired against his former side with a stunning first-half goal but Rodri's second-half strike left the Blues to take home the one point.

The Blues could even have had a two-goal lead had Nichols Jackson not fluffed his lines.

A clumsy foul from Moises Caicedo, meanwhile, saw him struggling to deliver against Pep Guardiola's side.

But Levi Colwill's superb performance in defence was enough to prevent City snatching all three points.

SunSports' Ken Lawrence has given his ratings of the Chelsea players.

DORDE PETROVIC 6

Scary flap at a high ball early on but regained composure – had no chance with Rodri’s piledriver equaliser.

MALO GUSTO 8

Tremendous raids down the right flank, and intelligent crosses, but never found himself caught out in his right-back day job.

AXEL DISASI 7

Nervous start but settled down well into the task of blunting the Erling Haaland menace alongside partner Levi Colwill.

LEVI COLWILL 8

Produced the kind of defiant display that has given him his reputation as one of the best centre-backs in the Prem.

BEN CHILWELL 7

The Bridge captain showed real diligence in handling the constant threat posed by Phil Foden down his left flank.

MOISES CAICEDO 6

Walked the tightrope for a while after a clumsy challenge on Kevin de Bruyne but kept his head well.

ENZO FERNANDEZ 9

High quality and high intelligence in his passing – especially in sending Raheem Sterling clear for the chance he missed.

COLE PALMER 7

Back on his old stomping ground and loving it – the boy’s got vision and bottle as he again showed.

CONNOR GALLAGHER 8

Covered every blade of grass, backing up Jackson ahead of him, filling holes behind him.

RAHEEM STERLING 8

Could and should have had a hat-trick but did stay cool to tuck past Ederson with the second of three great chances.

NICOLAS JACKSON 8

Spurned a fantastic 25th-minute opportunity but his pace, aggression and work rate made him a real pain for City.
