5 Chelsea players who were exceptional against Manchester City

#2 Cesar Azpilicueta

Chelsea's Mr Dependable led from the front and showed us just how good he can be. Azpilicueta presented himself as Chelsea's 'get out of jail card' on multiple occasions, and the Spaniard once again reasserted his position as one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

Azpilicueta prior to this game put in a string of average performances, having been reverted to a right-back after playing as a center-back for 2 seasons under Antonio Conte. 'Dave' as the Chelsea fans affectionately call him, has proven time and again that he is just as effective playing anywhere across the backline.

Azpilicueta completed 13 tackles against Manchester City, the most made by any Chelsea player since N'Golo Kante completed 14 tackles against Liverpool in 2017. An exceptionally consistent player, and now he's proving his mettle as captain as well.
