Epitomised the 2nd half and ran himself into the ground.
Good to see that he can affect a game higher up the pitch too; we’re so used to him as a deep lying playmaker but he drove forward and helped the attackers really well last night. Gives us another option, almost playing as a 10.
Hope he went off fatigued rather than injured.
As I said in another thread, adding Bissouma (or Skipp) frees Bentancur and Hojbjerg to get further up the pitch. I'd like to see Bissouma in that role too but Conte seems to want him at 6. 3 in CM isn't necessarily a defensive setup.
