Chelsea ratings v Udinese: Sterling 8, Koulibaly 7, James 5

Raheem Sterling scored a first goal for Chelsea since his move from Manchester City during a 3-1 friendly win over Udinese in Italy on Friday.

England forward Sterling, who arrived at Stamford Bridge a £50m deal, put Chelsea 2-0 up after N'Golo Kante opened the scoring. Gerard Deulofeu pulled one back for Udinese before Mason Mount secured Chelsea's win late on.

After the match Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel praised his team's performance.

"We have a lot of positive things to take away from this game. It’s a good performance, good result," Tuchel told Chelsea's website.

"We could have scored much more, should have scored much more but there’s a lot of positive stuff to take away."

The Blues play Udinese in a second friendly on Saturday. Below are the player ratings from Chelsea's win on Friday.

Edouard Mendy – 5. A quiet night for the Senegalese stopper, with Chelsea enjoying almost all the chances, but will be disappointed with his part in Udinese’s goal. Should have done better with Roberto Pereyra’s initial shot and arguably Gerard Deulofeu’s half-hit rebound, too.

Cesar Azpilicueta – 6. Showed no ill-effects of the transfer speculation swirling around him in recent months, turning in a committed display, but was found wanting for pace at times as Chelsea’s right-sided centre-back.

Thiago Silva – 8. As ever, a class act in the heart of the Blues defence. Expert reading of the game, totally dominant in the air and unflappable in possession. Looks happy to have Koulibaly’s energy and presence alongside him.

Kalidou Koulibaly – 7. An impressive outing for the newcomer. Always looking for a forward pass in possession, but did the bulk of his work outmuscling Udinese’s forwards or snuffing out attacks in their infancy –
