HE was putting in a man-of-the-match performance against Manchester United just 24 hours ago.
But nothing was going to stop Chelsea star N’Golo Kante from cheering on old side Leicester from the King Power stands tonight.
The Foxes were in Champions League action against Spanish giants Sevilla with a place in the quarter-finals at stake.
A 2-1 win for Sevilla in the first leg meant Craig Shakespeare’s men had it all to do at home.
But goals from Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton – not to mention a late penalty save by Kasper Schmeichel – secured another famous victory for last year’s surprise title winners.
And nobody appeared to be more delighted than Kante, who has been widely credited with playing the crucial role in last season’s table-topping adventure.
The France international is known for his shy personality but wasn’t holding anything back as he celebrated the shock result.
