Starting in the heart of the midfield alongside N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic was one of the standout players on the pitch as Chelsea dominated proceedings in the centre of the park on their way to registering a convincing 2-0 victory. The 25-year-old was at his brilliant best for the entirety of the game and played a key role in both goals, as he ran the show with his incisive passing and driving runs from midfield.

The former Real Madrid man failed to hit the ground running under Maurizio Sarri last season but has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Italian's departure, as he's established himself as one of the most consistent midfielders in the Premier League this season.

Kovacic has been an indispensable member of Frank Lampard's side since sealing a permanent move from Real Madrid and the Croatian international is finally producing the goods consistently.
