He dominated the midfield and covered every blade of grass as he incredibly dictated play.
Kante was relentless at breaking up Man City's attack, stopping their threat from midfield - producing a vital tackle on Kevin De Bruyne in the second-half.
The diminutive Frenchman also showed off his offensive side, setting up his team's attacks and being a menace on the break.

One wrote: "One of the best ever. Tonight surpassed even Chelsea's greats (Mikel, Essien, Makelele) if he hadn't already."
A second tweeted: "World's? Probably in the history. He's redefining the role. I can easily see him breaking up Xavi and Iniesta's play. Or absolutely kicking Pirlo or Zidane. His that good."
A third added: "This Dude deserves the Ballon d'Or. He's absolute world class."
A fourth commented: "He should be considered for the Ballon d'Or this season if France win the Euros. What a player. He is like playing with an extra midfielder."
Kante for the Ballon d'Or? Let us know what you think.
