Even in pre-season, N'Golo Kante is a machine in the heart of midfield as he showed off his incredible ways against Tottenham in a friendly match.

Kante starred as Chelsea drew 2-2 with Spurs at Stamford Bridge ahead of the new season.
The diminutive Frenchman only played 45 minutes of football on Wednesday, but absolutely dominated the engine room of the pitch.
He took no prisoners in midfield and created his side's first goal with a perfectly timed tackle to set up Hakim Ziyech, who picked out the bottom corner from distance.
Kante also showed off his playmaking abilities, spraying passes all over the pitch.
What's more, he made Dele Alli and Son Heung-min look very silly with two pieces of brilliant skill.
