#5 N’Golo Kante is everywhere
Burnley may not have arrived at Stamford Bridge with an attacking mindset, but each time they got hold of the ball and attempted to create a half-chance they were left frustrated by the presence of N’Golo Kante on the pitch.
The French pocket-sized midfielder – as always – was present all over the pitch, making interceptions and nicking the ball off a Burnley player’s feet.
His immense stamina and desperation to win back possession not just adds that extra security to the Chelsea midfield, but also gives Nemanja Matic the license to express himself as a box-to-box player. Antonio Conte could not be happier with the ex-Leicester man’s commitment every time he takes the field of play.
