The Belgian starred once again and earned his third man of the match award of the season but it was a solid all-round performance. We kept the ball a lot better than we did in our previous two games. John Obi Mikel and Raul Meireles put in a dominant midfield display whilst the likes of Ashley Cole and Ryan Bertrand rendered Hatem Ben Arfa anonymous.
Three points, a clean sheet, good performance and against a good side that finished 5th last season. Check out the highlights in the video below…
