Kante was nothing short of incredible at Anfield, registering 14 tackles and covering a lot of ground.
N’Golo Kante’s game by numbers vs. Liverpool, 9 tackles won, 5 blocks made, 2 clearances, 1 interception, 1 chance created
David Luiz was awarded the man of the match, however, Gerrard felt that Kante,deserved the individual accolade.
“He’s a nightmare to play against,” Gerrard told BT Sport, via the Metro. “I used to hate playing against Claude Makelele and I wouldn’t like to play against him.
“He was man of the match tonight, not David Luiz. Luiz scored a wonderful free-kick but Kante was man of the match.”
