LEON OSMAN: Several neat runs early on but left Hibbert hopelessly exposed before being substituted. 5
STEVEN PIENAAR: Everton’s primary source of inspiration with several driving runs but was too often closed down by a hoard of Chelsea players. 7
MAROUANE FELLAINI: Won almost everything in the air but found little support. Set up Louis Saha’s opener, offered fine link up play and deft touches but faded as the game wore on. 7
TIM CAHILL: Unusually subdued and found himself switching position a number of times during the game resulting in a lack of purpose. 6
LOUIS SAHA: Cracking strike to cement his place in the FA Cup record books with the competition’s quickest ever goal. Could have done better when well placed with a second half header before running out of steam. 7
SUBSTITUTES:
LARS JACOBSEN (45): On for the hapless Hibbert and stemmed the threat of Malouda somewhat but found it difficult to offer support on the wing. 6
JAMES VAUGHAN (75): Plenty of bluster but hardly given a sniff in front of goal. 5.
DAN GOSLING (82): Little time to make an impact and barely saw the ball. 5
