Chelsea 3-0 Watford: 3 players who won Maurizio Sarri the top 4 race 

#2 Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Loftus-Cheek put in a brilliant performance

The 23-year-old once again showed that he could be the future for Chelsea. Maurizio Sarri has been reluctant to give him a chance in the Premier League as he started just 5 times in the competition so far.

However, his enormous talent has been visible. He has scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists in the league despite mostly playing as a central midfielder with such a limited game time. His goal involvements now rival Ross Barkley who has had significantly more game time than him.

He also delivered a near perfect display for the Blues after replacing the injured N'golo Kante in the 10th minute. He scored the opener for Chelsea with a thumping header and became a serious trouble for Watford's defense.

His 93% pass completion rate ensured Chelsea's smooth play while his 5 successful dribbles left Javi Gracia's men with some hassles. His defensive work also should not be underestimated as he registered impressive 5 tackles and 4 interceptions throughout the game.
