The Chelsea forward scored thanks to the hard work of the Frenchman high up the pitch
Chelsea goalscorer Pedro has hailed N'Golo Kante for setting up the opener in a 2-0 win over Fulham.
Maurizio Sarri has been using the Frenchman in a move advanced role this season and decided to stick with his plan in the match against their west London rivals.
Tottenham Hotspur thumped the Blues last weekend as Mauricio Pochettino's side overran the visitors to Wembley Stadium with the World Cup-winner unable to cover for his back four as Jorginho was selected at the base of midfield.
However, the Chelsea boss was rewarded by keeping the faith in his system when Kante won the ball high up the pitch after catching Jean Michael Seri in possession.
After pick-pocketing the Ivorian, the former Leicester City midfielder drove forward to find Pedro with a pass, directly answering his critics who claimed that Sarri was asking too much of the France international.
The Spanish forward was full of compliments for his teammate after the match.
