OPINION
Cesar Azpilicueta is one of Chelsea’s longest-serving players, and has also been one of their most consistent performers during his time at the club. The Spain international has however endured a mixed season so far for the Blues under Maurizio Sarri, with Azpilicueta struggling to find that consistency which has made him such an asset for the club over the years. However, the right-back was certainly back to his best on Saturday as he put his body on the line countless times in a 2-0 win against the league leaders in a storming display. City struggled to find joy down the right flank with Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger working really well together on that side of defence. Chelsea fans have now been quick to go wild for the 29-year-old after his performance, with some believing this was his best of the season. It would be hard to disagree with that assertion really, with Azpilicueta easily among the best players on the pitch at Stamford Bridge.

Azpi is back to his best. Sterling hasn’t been able to do anything.
