Lille manager Jocelyn Gourvennec has revealed his side were unable to foul Chelsea star N’Golo Kante in their 2-0 Champions League defeat at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening.
The Blues ran out comfortable victors in west London - the goals coming from Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic - and now have one foot in the quarter-finals of the competition as they attempt to defend the crown that they lifted in Porto last term.
Despite not getting his name on the scoresheet, midfielder Kante was pivotal on the night as he claimed the man-of-the-match award and also played a vital role in Pulisic’s goal as he drove through midfield before playing the American through.
