The midfielder was at his very best as the Blues cruised to a comfortable win.
Chelsea defeated Newcastle United 2-0 to move back to the top 4 in what was a comfortable outing at Stamford Bridge.
While Timo Werner and Olivier Giroud scored the goals, it was Mateo Kovacic who had a masterclass in midfield as he was involved in everything.
Here are his best stats from the game:
96% pass accuracy (87/91)
108 touches (most)
11 duels won (most)
9 final third entries
8 take-ons (most)
6 ball recoveries
4 penalty area entries
3 tackles
2 chances created
2 shots
One of our best players last season under Frank Lampard, Kovacic is slowly getting to his best version and it’s good to see.
With the midfielder so dominant with his passing, dribbling and ability to win the ball back, it’s no surprise that the Blues won the game!
