#5 Chelsea’s midfield maestro’s N’Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic were flawless again

One minute he’s here, the other he’s there and everywhere. N’Golo Kante has been “the” buy of the season so far. He always has a 3 yard lead over anybody else on the pitch, and those fine margins make all the difference. He passed effortlessly and ran the show in the middle of the park.
He has been a revelation at Stamford Bridge with many comparing the Frenchman to former Chelsea legend Claude Makelele. Nemanja Matic also supported well with marauding runs and resolute positioning. Matic did all the work alone for Chelsea in their title-winning 2014/15 campaign and now he has N’Golo Kante as his midfield partner. The sheer amount of ground those two cover collectively is that of a three-man midfield.
They win the ball quicker than their opposition and can both tackle extremely well and are a formidable pair in the center of the park and deserve all the plaudits coming their way.

Chelsea have set the bar really high for the rest of the league to follow suit, especially with their last 5 performances and in particular this one.
