Chelsea player ratings as Palmer and Sancho star in Conference League final triumph over Real Betis
Chelsea completed an impressive 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the Conference League final to claim a first trophy of the Enzo Maresca era. The Blues were pretty dismal in the first half in Wroclaw and deservedly trailed 1-0 but were a side transformed after the break. Cole Palmer's creativity created goals for Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson before the impressive Jadon Sancho came off the bench to add a third and Moises Caicedo completed the victory with a fourth in injury time. Advertisement It means the Blues become the first team in history to have won every single major European trophy, as the Conference League crown was added to previous successes in the Champions League, Europa League and European Cup Winners' Cup. Having already secured Champions League qualification for next season by coming fourth in the Premier League, this win completes a pretty impressive first campaign for Maresca and a young squad may well be able to use this as a springboard moving forward. Here's how the Chelsea players rated as they completed the European trophy set with Conference League victory over Betis: Filip Jorgensen – 6 Couldn't do anything about Betis's goal and then made a good save during the Spanish side's dominant start to the match. Looked comfortable enough on the ball and wasn't hugely tested beyond those early moments. Advertisement Malo Gusto – 3 Constantly inverted into central midfield alongside Caicedo and Enzo, leaving Chelsea exposed with a three at the back, and the impressive Ezzalzouli subsequently made hay down Chelsea's right early on. That included scoring the opening after Gusto gave the ball away and he was subbed off at half-time for Reece James. A largely dismal day. Malo Gusto struggled in Wroclaw (AP) Trevoh Chalobah – 6 Part of the defence run ragged in the first half and caught out by Betis's lively forwards on a couple of occasions. Was tested less in the second half as Chelsea were largely on top and that was probably a good thing. Looked decent enough on the ball. Advertisement Benoit Badiashile – 4 Like Chalobah, gets pinged for being part of the defence that were given the runaround early on and then got himself booked on 55 minutes before being subbed off on the hour mark. Marc Cucurella – 7 On the left side of the three created by Gusto inverting into the midfield, he looked as uncomfortable as his defensive partners when Ezzalzouli, Isco and Antony were causing havoc. Showed ambition when playing the ball forward though, especially in the second half, and helped keep Antony quiet after the early issues. Enzo Fernandez –8 Wanted to drive Chelsea forward from a central role and although he was quiet in the first half, popped up with the vital equaliser as he drifted between two defenders and headed home Palmer's sumptuous cross. Finals are about moments and he produced a key one. Enzo Fernandez scored the vital equaliser for Chelsea (Getty) Moises Caicedo – 8 The be-masked midfielder has quietly had a good season for Chelsea and performed his traditional role of tidying up/doing the dirty work here. Gave away free-kicks in key positions on a couple of occasions in the first half but helped steady the ship after the break as the Blues began to thrive. Got himself on the scoresheet with a superb injury-time strike, starting the move, continuing his run forward and thumping home. Advertisement Pedro Neto – 4 Largely quiet although did fire a 35th-minute shot well over the bar. Showed flickers of life early in the second half but subbed off on 60 minutes with Jadon Sancho coming on as Maresca sought a spark and the Man United loanee completely outshone him. Needs more end product next season. Cole Palmer – 9 Easily the man of the match. More capable of a defining moment of quality than anyone else in the squad and produced it for the equaliser as he floated a stunning cross on to Enzo's head. Looked dangerous every time he touched the ball in the second half and brilliantly created the second goal as well, turning his man inside out before dinking another glorious cross for Jackson to force home. The creative heart who won the Blues this final before receiving a standing ovation when subbed off with a couple of minutes remaining. Cole Palmer inspired Chelsea's comeback (AP) Noni Madueke – 7 Keen to run at opposite number Sabaly whenever he got on the ball and won a couple of corners in the first half before showing more verve and spark after the break. The goals came from Palmer's creativity and Sancho's quality finish but Madueke also looked threatening. Advertisement Nicolas Jackson – 7 Led the press effectively enough early on but was starved of service in the first half and did little with what he did get. Livelier after the break as Chelsea improved and was in the right place at the right time to score the goal that put them 2-1 up, using his shoulder/chest to force Palmer's pinpoint cross home. Not pretty but he'd made the perfect run to be there. Then made a complete hash of a one on one, with the heaviest touch you will ever see to highlight the frustration Chelsea fans have with him. Hobbled off with 10 minutes left Substitutes Reece James for Gusto, 45 – 8 Answered the half-time SOS to replace the struggling Gusto and Chelsea immediately looked more fluent. He put a good cross into the box straight away, saw a shot deflected wide and generally seemed to spark his side into life. Reece James's introduction helped turn things round for Chelsea (PA) Jadon Sancho for Neto, 61 – 8 Brought on for Neto to try and make an impact and did exactly that. Constantly ran at the Betis defence and curled in a superb third goal after shifting it on to his right foot that sealed victory for Maresca's men. Assisted Caicedo for the cherry-on-top fourth for good measure. Advertisement Levi Colwill for Badiashile, 61 – 7 Chelsea's best passer in defence and brought on for the yellow-carded Badiashile as much for that attacking ability as for as his defensive prowess. Did exactly what was asked. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for Jackson, 80 – 7 Got the assist for Sancho's goal after he aggressively drove forward. Perhaps a bit lucky that his pass made it to Sancho but deserved that fortune because of the ambition of the run. Marc Guiu for Palmer, 87 – N/A Simply brought on to waste time and so that Palmer could receive a standing ovation from Chelsea fans. Not enough time to make an impact.

What's the best San Francisco TV show of all time? Chronicle readers (mostly) agree on this classic
Asked to choose the greatest San Francisco television show of all time, Chronicle readers picked an overwhelming favorite that has it all: a banger theme song, a future movie star, propulsive crime stories and location scouting that seemingly used every square inch of the city. But the poll, launched with my story lauding 1990s radio host detective show 'Midnight Caller,' says as much about Bay Area TV viewers as it does about the shows they voted for. Locals feel the deepest connection to programs that were filmed here instead of Hollywood or Vancouver. They don't share the world's love of 'Full House.' (Easily the most zeitgeist-y show on the list, the sitcom received less than 1% of the vote.) And they wrote in a lot of more obscure names, getting behind a 1950s program that wasn't on our master list. With 304 readers weighing in, there was a clear winner: the 1970s drama 'The Streets of San Francisco' with 37.5% of the vote. Commenters said the show, featuring a young Michael Douglas and Karl Malden as San Francisco Police Department homicide detectives, put in the work in San Francisco. 'Only this show placed the city up-front in its title,' said reader Mike Drew. 'The others were only incidentally set in San Francisco, but they easily could have been anywhere. (Producer) Quinn Martin made San Francisco a member of the cast and deserves all the credit here.' Reader David K. watches the show specifically for the locations. 'It's fascinating to see what neighborhoods like Dogpatch and Potrero Hill used to look like in the 1970s,' David wrote. 'I can't help pausing the show to see if I can recognize a particular corner.' 'The Streets of San Francisco' also received the single best comment, from an anonymous reader who voted for the show 'because I was on an episode as a casual street walker." Coming in second place was 'Tales of the City' (16.1%), based on Armistead Maupin's eponymous Chronicle column about a newcomer and her group of friends in San Francisco, which ran on PBS as a miniseries in 1993, then returned with sequels on Showtime in 1998 and 2001 and Netflix in 2019. Readers were passionate about the gay characters and authentically eccentric San Franciscans who weren't represented on network television. 'It so perfectly expresses the zeitgeist of the time and the innocence of its characters who moved to San Francisco seeking personal freedom in an era that was closeted, constrained and demanded conformity,' wrote reader Joe Grubb. The third highest poller was the 1996-2001 high-revving cop drama 'Nash Bridges' (8.9%), which despite middling critical appraisals was fiercely defended for its strong filming presence in the city. Rounding out the bottom of the list were 'Midnight Caller' (7.6%), the 2000s detective series 'Monk' (5.2%), recent sleuthing comedy 'A Man on the Inside' (4.3%) and 2010s HBO gay relationship drama 'Looking' (3.2%). 'Party of Five,' 'Charmed' and 'Full House' each received less than 2% of the vote. But the biggest surprise was a write-in candidate that wasn't included in our poll: 'The Lineup.' The 1950s cop show garnered 13 votes; enough to place it tied for sixth. Fans credited its use of locations throughout the city and close cooperation with the SFPD. 'They looked like cops. They acted like cops,' reader Bill Wilson wrote. 'And it's (San Francisco) in the 1950s. Classic.' One common theme among the comments: Several readers admitted to watching old episodes of San Francisco-based television shows just to reminisce about bygone eras. Others said 'Streets' and other shows were their first look at the city from afar. Sherwood Crump, for example, gave 'Streets' his vote, 'because it was filmed in San Francisco and it created in me, a 9-year-old boy in Detroit, a desire to travel to S.F. and see what the city was really like.'
