6 tackles, 3 interceptions & more: 8 stats as Saul finally shines for Chelsea in Spurs win

Saul Niguez had mostly been written off by a number of fans after he failed to play well a number of times for the Blues.

However, the midfielder finally broke through and had an excellent performance against Conte's Tottenham.

Here's a look at the best stat from Saul's performance in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal.

- 100% long ball accuracy

- 89% pass accuracy

- 69 touches

- 55 passes 6 tackles (most)

- 3 interceptions (=most)

- 2 shots

- 2 chances created

Saul will be aiming to build on this performance if he can and Saturday's FA Cup clash against Chesterfield could provide another opportunity to do that.
