How Chelsea rated...

Marks out of 10 for Chelsea after their Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow.

Petr Cech Against some spirited Russian revolutionaries Cech stood firm, making three outstanding saves to maintain his team's control. 8 out of 10

Paulo Ferreira Another assured performance from the Portuguese who was rarely challenged. His pristine side-parting remained perfect. 6 out of 10

John Terry With three goals, Terry is Chelsea's top Champions League scorer. Maybe Jose Mourinho should play him up front. 8 out of 10

William Gallas Justified recall in place of Ricardo Carvalho but will continue to play on a rotational basis as Terry's position is secure. 6 out of 10

Wayne Bridge A quiet night on his return from injury but restored some balance to the side. Outswinging corner created the first goal for Terry. 7 out of 10

Alexei Smertin The most effective Russian on the pitch. Perhaps Roman Abramovich should buy players off his own bat more often? 8 out of 10

Claude Makelele Chelsea's smallest player continues to excel as their midfield enforcer, how Real Madrid could do with his energy. 8 out of 10

Frank Lampard Not his usual rampaging self, but his free-kicks are becoming Chelsea's most potent weapon. Created the second for Eidur Gudjohnsen. 7 out of 10

Damien Duff Got into good positions and produced some excellent crosses, but still short of the form he produced at times last season. 6 out of 10

Mateja Kezman The Serbian insists goals will come but looks as if he couldn't score on a night out with Adrian Mutu right now. An evening to forget. 5 out of 10

Eidur Gudjohnsen Made the first goal and scored the second with a well-judged leap. A timely return to form given Chelsea's striker shortage. 7 out of 10

Substitutes: Tiago: Did his job well by retaining possession as Chelsea killed off the game. 5. Joe Cole: Showed his beautiful face by adding some sparkle late on. 6. Scott Parker: Eager to please on his first appearance for two months and has fans on his side. 5.

Jose Mourinho The Mutu saga has seen Mourinho unusually quiet and he let his team do the talking last night with another efficient display.
