Alan Shearer has identified a quiet hero from Chelsea\u2019s 4-0 demolition of Hull City. While other stars took the spotlight, one \u2018solid\u2019 performer caught his eye.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> continue to improve under Liam Rosenior<\/a>, recording the first clean sheet since the 21st of January against Pafos. <\/p>\n

It was one of the most assured defensive performances that we\u2019ve seen. Mamadou Sarr and Wesley Fofana looked accomplished<\/a> at the heart of the defence, putting all the doubts to bed after the chopping and changing that has gone on in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

A rotation of Fofana, Sarr and Trevoh Chalobah seems the best choice right now. <\/p>\n

But there is also a decision to be made at left-back. <\/p>\n

Alan Shearer wasn\u2019t so sure about what he saw from Alejandro Garnacho<\/a>, but Jorrel Hato<\/a> was highly rated on the night. <\/p>\n

Speaking on BBC One<\/a> live coverage, Shearer agreed with his fellow commentator on Hato\u2019s display. <\/p>\n

The commentator said, \u201cHe\u2019s had a really good game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shearer responded:<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah he has, he\u2019s looked solid. Put in really, really good tackle a second ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jorrel Hato\u2019s stats against Hull City<\/p>\n

Jorrel Hato delivered a composed performance<\/a> that will have opened the eyes of Liam Rosenior. <\/p>\n

Starting at left-back, the 19-year-old was a constant outlet for Chelsea\u2019s possession-heavy game, as well as keeping things tight defensively.<\/p>\n

He recorded 84 touches and completed 61 of 67 passes for a high 91% accuracy. Defensively, Hato was disciplined throughout the 90 minutes, winning four out of his six duels, making two interceptions, and tallying five ball recoveries. <\/p>\n

He also had one chance created and a perfect 100% success rate on his tackles.<\/p>\n
