N'Golo Kante displayed brilliant sportsmanship late on in Chelsea's West London derby win over Fulham today.
With a few minutes of normal time to go at Craven Cottage and Chelsea leading 2-1, the Blues had the ball in a dangerous position but Kante signalled to the referee to stop the game after he head accidentally trod on the head of Joe Bryan.

Fortunately Bryan's injury wasn't serious and he was able to see out the rest of the game but you've got to admire the quick thinking of Kante. Social media was full of praise for his act of sportsmanship:
It's yet another reason to live Kante, who may just be the best and most humble bloke in world football.

However, it has emerged that the World Cup winner is not the best when it comes to timekeeping and he is the most-fined player at Chelsea.
Teammates Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek wasted no time in responding when asked who picks up the most fines at the club.
"N'Golo!" Loftus-Cheek told Soccer AM. "Yeah, N'Golo! You wouldn't expect it. He's always late. Always," said Hudson-Odoi.

Loftus-Cheek added: "He's not super late. Normally you get places earlier, he's usually one or two minutes late, or just on time!
"He comes in and smiles and everyone is like: 'Yeah we forgive you'."
