Thiago Silva 7/10
Little stress against powder-puff Boro attack, but anything thrown at him, the Brazilian dealt with. Played the ball out in style throughout. Booked for foul on Rodgers. AFP
Levi Colwill 7/10
After disastrous first leg at left-back, was back in preferred central role and clearly more comfortable, although Boro’s attacking threat wasn’t exactly huge. Whipped strike wide of target just afterShow more
Ben Chilwell 8/10
Welcome return to team as captain and looped early header wide but felt he should have won penalty after being clattered by keeper Glover, picking up booking for complaining. Superb ball through to StShow more

Mykhailo Mudryk 5/10
Chelsea fans want him in the starting 11 but Ukrainian was anonymous in opening half despite team running rampant. Booked for dissent and hooked at break. PA
Armando Broja 6/10

Noni Madueke 7/10

Leo Castledine N/A
(On for Sterling 85’) Teenager made his Chelsea debut.
Tom Glover 5/10
MIDDLESBROUGH RATINGS: Pretty helpless in face of steady stream of defensive blunders leading to goals although some of his passes out from back only added to team’s problems. PA
Rav van den Berg 6/10
In what was miserable first half for visitors, Dutch centre-half playing at right-back due to injuries actually kept Mudryk very quiet – so much so Ukrainian didn’t appear for second half. Booked for Show more

Daniel Barlaser 4/10

Matt Crooks 5/10

Hayden Hackney 4/10
Scored only goal of first leg but there was absolutely no threat of that happening at Stamford Bridge on miserable night for Teesiders. Nutmegged and skinned by some lovely Palmer skill just after breShow more
