Chelsea had two of their defenders put in outstanding performances at the weekend. However, one was from a player on a temporary stay away from the club.
A day following Trevoh Chalobah's impressive showing of versatility that drew praise from Frank Lampard, Levi Colwill sent a firm reminder that he can compete with the very best as he played his part in shutting down Arsenal for Brighton. Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi was effusive in his acknowledgement of Colwill's performance and his impact on the Gunners' key man Martin Odegaard.
The Brighton boss said: "The best example of courage was Colwill in this game because we defended man to man and the man for Colwill was Odegaard and Colwill defended for 90 minutes against Odegaard. He went 80 metres, 90 metres away from (goalkeeper) Jason Steele - this is the courage."
