N’Golo Kante completed 90 minuets on Saturday as France edged past Argentina in the World Cup – and some Chelsea fans on Twitter were blown away by the quality of their midfielder’s display.
France booked their place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup with a stunning 4-3 victory, where rising star Kylian Mbappe scored twice to grab the headlines.
They will now face either Uruguay or Portugal in the next round of the competition and are certainly shaping up to be one of the favourites to win the competition.
A selection of Chelsea fans on social media were raving about defensive midfielder Kante after another combative performance and feel he is one of the best in the business.
This Is Futbol has rounded up some of the best tweets:

OPINION
Kante has been one of the best midfielders in world football during the last few years and his club form has transformed over to the international stage. The 27-year-old covers every blade of grass on a football pitch and in the France side allows his side’s attacking players to flourish. He was involved in a fascinating battle against arguably the best player in the world Lionel Messi on Saturday and certainly didn’t shy away. Chelsea supporters know how crucial Kante is at Stamford Bridge and he is behind Eden Hazard the one player they can’t afford to lose moving forward.
