#4 N'Golo Kante
The Frenchman started in midfield alongside Kovacic and Jorginho but was afforded a lot of freedom. Kante was allowed to take up positions as he pleased and was released from his defensive duties by Sarri. This allowed the Frenchman to affect the game from a higher area in the pitch and he built up the numbers for the Blues in the final third.
Kante was his usual self on the field and even though he was afforded a lot of attacking lease, the Frenchman played his natural game. He pressed continuously through the night. He closed down the Gunners and refused to allow the backline any time on the ball. Kante was a bundle of energy in the middle and did not allow the Arsenal team a second of respite.
Whenever the Gunners came forward with the ball, the Frenchman dropped down to help his midfield. He was alert in the middle and ensured that once Chelsea took control of the midfield, they never let it go. Kante's stellar performance in the middle of the park helped Chelsea win the game.
