"Chelsea ratings: Madueke shines, Palmer threat as Moreira is hooked"

Chelsea came from behind to defeat League Two's Wimbledon in the EFL Cup. Super-sub Enzo Fernandez scored the winning goal.

Chelsea had to come from behind in the EFL Cup match against League Two's Wimbledon. The Blues found themselves trailing after James Tilley converted a penalty in the 20th minute. However, Noni Madueke's impressive performance earned him a penalty, which he scored just before halftime. It was Enzo Fernandez, who came off the bench, who ultimately secured the victory for Chelsea.

In terms of individual performances, there were some standout players for the Blues. The goalkeeper was at fault for Wimbledon's equalizer, but he redeemed himself with confident play for the rest of the match. Another player who stood out was the academy starlet, who displayed solid defensive skills and good passing ability. The right-back had little trouble dealing with the opposition and didn't need to venture too far forward due to Madueke's dominance on the right flank. The midfielder in the deepest position provided good cover when Wimbledon launched counterattacks. The captain of the team was positive in his forward play and effectively pushed Chelsea up the field.

There were also some promising performances from other players. One player showed glimpses of potential with quick touches in tight spaces, although he could have been more selfish with his shooting opportunities. Another player caused nightmares for defenders with his pace and power, and his equalizing goal from the penalty spot capped off an excellent performance. However, there were some players who struggled at times, such as the left-sided player who had difficulties with his first touch despite some positive link-ups with his teammate. The striker, who led the line in the first half, looked more confident when a substitute was brought on.

Speaking of substitutes, there were a few who made an impact when they came on. One substitute provided a real positive presence, driving forward and causing problems for the opposition's defenders. Another substitute, Enzo Fernandez, scored the winning goal and threatened the opposition's goal on multiple occasions with long-range shots. The third substitute made more of an impact on the right flank than the player he replaced and could be a reliable option in the absence of Reece James.

Finally, Moises Caicedo came on late in the match and helped stabilize Chelsea's midfield during a period when Wimbledon had some success.

Overall, Chelsea's victory was hard-fought, and there were several standout performances from individual players. The team showed resilience in coming from behind and securing the win. With the contributions of both established players and promising youngsters, Chelsea fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead.
