Chelsea v Arsenal - Premier League
N'Golo Kante

The energizer-bunny made flesh that is N'Golo Kante became the first player to win back-to-back Premier League titles with two different teams when he helped Antonio Conte to the title in his maiden season in charge at Chelsea.

The mere presence of Kante allowed both Chelsea (and the miracle workers of Leicester City) to play a two-man midfield and provide overloads on the flanks as well as up-front, a formula that had seemingly died down with the advent of the three-man midfield... and if doing the job of two men allowing for an antiquated footballing phenomenon to resurface and winning your league while at it isn't enough to earn you the highest recognitions there are, then all is simply lost.
