Some Chelsea FC supporters have reacted positively to the wonderful midfield display from Mateo Kovacic against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
The Croatia international had a mixed first season with the Blues last term on loan and there was some criticism when he was purchased on a permanent deal last summer.
However, he has turned down to be one of the most consistent players under Frank Lampard and he came up with another midfield masterclass in the 2-0 win over Spurs.
Kovacic bagged the assist for Willian’s sublime opener in the 12th minute but besides this, he managed four successful take-ons and three tackles in the 67 minutes on the field.
As a result, there has generally been a positive reaction over his performances and here are some of the reactions on Twitter following the derby win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Twitter Reactions:
Kovacic and N’Golo Kante impressed with their regular pressing on the opposition and the latter was particularly exceptional in the closing stages where he took it upon himself to counter-attack Spurs.
Kovacic picked up a booking during the closing stages of the first half of the derby and that will unfortunately see him miss the Boxing Day clash for Chelsea FC against Southampton due to an automatic one game ban for accumulating five yellow cards before Gameweek 19.
