Shortly before half-time, Kante did something almost unthinkable - he miscontrolled the ball, sending it flying
off 15 yards in front of him towards the corner.
Most players would have given it up for a goal kick then and there, forcing a sheepish smile as the crowd cheered ironically.
Not Kante.

The Chelsea midfielder sprinted off in pursuit, rescued the lost cause, made Sofiane Feghouli
look like a dunce twice, and played a perfect pass
to the feet of Eden Hazard.
Naturally, the 10-second clip went viral on social media.
'Kante's so good, he has started playing passes to himself,' joked the disbelieving masses.
Even manager Antonio Conte dissolved into a fit of laughter when asked whether he could find
any fault with Kante's performance.
'He made five mistakes. He has to improve
on this. He has to improve,' said the Italian with tongue in cheek.
'I am joking. But I have to find one situation to tell him to improve.
He's playing really well.'

Playing so well, in fact, that the (almost) unimprovable Kante must surely clean up at the Player of
the Year awards between now and the end of the season.
As Chelsea re-established a double-figure advantage at the top of
the Premier League following their 2-1 win at the London Stadium, their goalscorers
Hazard and Diego Costa are inevitably in the running for the gongs.
It's a whole lot harder to earn recognition in such things when you don't score goals or ping 60-yard
passes, but Kante is deserving for the consistent excellence he continues to
show.
Let's look at the stats. Kante has made 94 tackles in his
26 Premier League games this season, the second highest in the division behind Everton's Idrissa Gueye (102).
