#4 Ruben Loftus-Cheek is special
Playing in an advanced midfielder position, Ruben Loftus-Cheek showed the world why he’s so highly rated at Chelsea. The 21-year old represents the perfect blend of pace, power, strength and technical ability, all traits he showed at Anfield.

In Palace’s 3-5-2, attacking support is hard to come by. This meant that Loftus-Cheek was forced to be the all-important link between midfield and attack. His job was made harder because of Townsend’s poor performance on the ball, the winger was dispossessed 5 times during the match.
On the other hand, Loftus-Cheek created 2 chances, completed 77.3% of his passes and made 2 crucial interceptions. The Chelsea loanee single-handedly orchestrated Palace’s best chance of the game, as he effortlessly shrugged off Klavan to tee up Benteke, who in return blasted the ball over from 7 yards out. The youngster is clearly a star in the making and his performance at one of the most famous stadiums in England only added more weight to the claim.
