Chelsea midfielder surprises pundits with impressive career fight-back
Chelsea midfielder, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, won the praise for his performance in victory over Southampton.
Loftus-Cheek, 25, was handed his first Premier League start of the season and he repaid the faith Thomas Tuchel showed in him.
Former England striker said: “What was good about Ruben Loftus-Cheek is that after the injury he had, going to Fulham, I didn’t think we’d ever see him go back to this kind of form.
“The display today was magnificent. People say about Ruben Loftus-Cheek about his energy and it looked like he was playing in himself.

“But today, in his own box, in midfield, everything. One of the things he’s going to have to do to stay in this Chelsea team, especially as someone who played in a pivot as a [midfield] two, is score more goals.
“The power, the skill, he’s got everything. People say he hasn’t got the energy, look at him now, this is scary.
“Looking at a Loftus-Cheek who looks to me like he’s got the fire in his belly back. He’s dangerous.”
