Thomas Tuchel labelled N’Golo Kante unique after the France midfielder came off the bench to play a key role in Chelsea’s 3-0 win at Tottenham on Sunday.

Blues boss Tuchel sent on Kante at the interval after growing frustrated with Chelsea’s low energy display in the first half. The switch proved a masterstroke as Chelsea scored two goals in the opening 12 minutes of the second half. Thiago Silva headed the opener and Kante’s long-range drive deflected in off Eric Dier for the second goal.
