Premier League: N'Golo Kanté in Messi mode

A masterpiece !

N'Golo Kanté struck hard this Saturday with his club Chelsea in Leicester on Matchday 12 of the Premier League.

In the stadium of his former club with which he won the title of champion of England in 2016, the French defensive midfielder scored a magnificent goal synonymous with a break for his team (0-2, 28th).

He recovered the ball near the center line before embarking on a ride of about thirty meters and then mystifying the opposing goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel with a superb left-foot strike in the middle of the window from the entrance of the box. .

This is his second goal of the season after that scored against Tottenham last September.

N'Golo Kante (30) was then absent at the beginning of October after testing positive for Covid-19.

💥 What a sequence of Kanté which comes to light with a strike from the left the skylight of Schmeichel!

Oriented control, fixation and the Frenchman does not think to strike.

2-0 for the Blues against Leicester.

Excellent in the midfield with the Italian international Jorginho, the child of Suresnes, always so impeccable in recovery, shows more and more offensively.

He is back in excellent form at the right time for Chelsea, still leading the Premier League after his 9th success of the season at Leicester (0-3).

Didier Deschamps had left him on the bench last Tuesday during the last qualifying match at the 2022 World Cup in Finland (0-2).

Three days earlier, he started out against Kazakhstan (8-0) before giving way to Aurélien Tchouaméni at the end of the game.

Next Tuesday, another big match awaits him against Juventus, decisive for first place in the group, on the penultimate day of the group stage of the Champions League.
