#2 Hit - Clement Lenglet
On any other day, Clément would've earned my Man of the Match award - he was that good. The 23-year-old, who continues to develop alongside various defensive partners under Valverde, excelled here and needed to - playing next to an experienced Thomas Vermaelen, who had only started three games (all competitions) this season before kick-off.
In the absence of both Pique and Samuel Umtiti, he balanced his role to mirror the pair's strengths - excellent positioning, tackling and recovery challenges where possible.
Engrossed in an ongoing battle with Harry Kane, he regularly came out on top. When he didn't, like after Sissoko's searching through ball set the 25-year-old through on-goal, the Frenchman did enough to put him off and frustrate his regular striking motions.
His match statistics speak volumes - game-high tackles (7) and interceptions (4), three clearances, one blocked shot and no fouls committed! What more could you want?
