#5 Peterborough score but N’Golo Kante comes on and Chelsea look like 11 again
Trending
N’Golo Kante has often been referred to as two players in one body because of his ability to cover every blade of grass. Last night in the FA Cup, it was a further justification for that claim.
After Terry was sent off, Cezar Azpilicueta was sent on, but the Blues conceded a goal in the 70th minute. Nichols scored after great play down the right flank by Peterborough’s Michael Smith. It was a deserved goal for the minnows although they were second best in the game, that being said they did fight till the very end.
However, to make sure Chelsea didn’t concede more Antonio Conte sent on N’Golo Kante just three minutes after they let Peterborough score in the 73rd minute. As soon as the Frenchman was brought on the pitch, he went about his work disrupting play and covering the entire field.
Chelsea looked like they had eleven players on the pitch again even though they were actually ten. They had more possession and built more attacks and even wrapped up the game with Pedro’s second goal. It was indeed the N’Golo Kante effect.
