The Spaniard is enjoying his days at Chelsea. The former Barcelona man scored the opening goal for Chelsea. It was an easy tap-in for him as rest of the work was done by Eden Hazard. Pedro's performance devastated under former Antonio Conte but under Sarri his form has rejuvenated.

The 31-year-old winger scored his 6th premier league goal of the season against Brighton which is 2 more than his total tally in the last season. He was excellent in passing and almost completed 70% of his passes.


#3 N'Golo Kante

It looks like N'Golo Kante is enjoying his new position under Maurizio Sarri. Kante had a decent game against Brighton in the Premier League. It looks like he started enjoying his new role. The French Wolrd Cup winner played a crucial role in Chelsea's victory. He supported Jorginho in the midfield and helped in quick passing of the ball.

Kante fluently linked the defence line with attackers and also made some important interceptions in the match. However, in the starting minutes, he made sloppy passes but as the game progressed he gained momentum and helped in building Chelsea's attack. In total, Kante has started to contribute more and more with every game.
