N'GOLO KANTE has only lost five games in his 37 Premier League outings for Leicester and Chelsea.

But over the last 12 months, the pattern of these defeats is remarkable.

Amazingly all five of his losses have been against just TWO clubs, Arsenal (three times) and Liverpool (twice).

However, he's picked up a Premier League winner's medal along the way with the Foxes before making a big-money move to Chelsea.

Kante, though, had a woeful performance in his latest taste of defeat at the hands of a buzzing and energetic Arsenal side.

The Blues' defeat was so poor that Kante was shown up in midfield thanks to a drop of the shoulder from Mesut Ozil, leading to Arsenal's second goal.

Then there was the curious incident of referee Michael Oliver sprinting harder and faster than the France international for Alexis Sanchez's opening goal.
