Chelsea player ratings vs Ipswich: Cole Palmer needs help! England star can’t save Blues from shock defeat after defensive blunders

GOAL rates Chelsea’s players from Portman Road…
Goalkeeper & Defence
Filip Jorgensen (5/10): Chelsea fans have been waiting for the young Dane to receive his moment, but handing away the early penalty was not a good start, even if it was soft. Only minutes later, Delap scored a beautiful second, and despite additional saves, Hutchinson was unable to be stopped. Axel Disasi (4/10): He realised as soon as Hutchinson increased Ipswich’s lead that it was his fault. The hosts still had a lot to accomplish, but handing the ball away in his own half was atrocious. Tosin (4/10): Appeared hesitant to engage Delap for fear of being beaten for speed or strength, which was a factor in the second Ipswich goal when the striker was running at him and he backed off. Seemed nervous when being pressed too.
Levi Colwill (5/10): Clattered by Delap in the early moments, he knew he was in for a brutal fight. Mark Cucurella (6/10): Given that Ipswich were so clinical with their openings, a great chance late in the first half that he pulled wide looks like a bigger miss in hindsight than it might have done in the moment.
