Result: Chelsea fans name their Man of the Match vs Cardiff

Chelsea returned to winning ways in the Premier League on Sunday with a narrow 2-1 victory away to relegation threatened Cardiff City.

Two late headers from captain Cesar Azpilicueta and substitute Ruben Loftus-Cheek won the game for Maurizio Sarri’s side, in what was a controversial afternoon in South Wales. 

Cardiff should have been awarded a first half penalty when Marcos Alonso hauled Sean Morrison down in the area, while Azpilicueta’s equaliser was allowed to stand despite the defender standing in a clear offside position.

Antonio Rudiger was fortunate to not receive a red card prior to Chelsea’s winner, after the Germany international brought Kenneth Zohore down with the Bluebirds striker through on goal.

Four minutes later, Loftus-Cheek produced a fine headed finish to complete the turnaround and give the Blues victory to maintain their push for a top four finish. 

Following the win, we asked Chelsea supporters to vote for their Man of the Match in what was an uninspiring performance at Cardiff City Stadium, and here’s who you voted for in our duel.
