Ruben Loftus-Cheek sealed the deal for Sarri's men in the 82nd minute after the hosts struggled to carve out an opening and put the game to bed.

The Englishman has not done the same for the first time this season albeit, and once more, he illustrated how effective he can be for any team.

Since he came on, the youngster always looked to be on the move. Till the final whistle, the 22-year-old was a willing runner - the same kind that a side drilled by Maurizio Sarri requires. His movement whenever Chelsea took the attack to the opposition was excellent praiseworthy.

He has only made four substitute appearances this term in the domestic league, and already has a couple of goals to his name. Till the start of this season, you knew he was an all-round performer - someone who could defend and use his physicality, someone who was technically sound and someone who was creative.

But now, he has really added goals to his name. Loftus-Cheek is just 22 and he already has so many attributes that portray how talented, unique and mature he is.

Time and time again, he is proving his worth to the boss - with his fifth goal in the last six appearances in all competitions for the West London giants.
