Antonio Conte singles out Chelsea star for best display in Blues shirt in Huddersfield win
ANTONIO CONTE singled out Tiemoue Bakayoko for his starring role in Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Huddersfield this evening.
Bakayoko opened the scoring for Chelsea with Willian and Pedro rounding off the win for the Blues.
The France international had come under-fire recently for some sub-par performances in the heart of Chelsea’s midfield.
But Conte kept his trust in the 23-year-old and he was rewarded with an astute display alongside N’Golo Kante.
And the Chelsea boss believes it was the best performance he has seen from Bakayoko since he made the move to Stamford Bridge from Monaco in the summer.
Maybe tonight I saw the best performance from Baka and I started to see what I ask and what I want
“He played a good game tonight and I am very happy for him,” Conte said.
“He is 22 years old and is adapting himself in our idea of football.
“Maybe tonight I saw the best performance from Baka and I started to see what I ask and what I want.

“To find the right passing between the line, be solid and I am very pleased for him and it will have improved his performance.
“I am not worried about him.
“He is showing me to have the right desire and will to improve and try to be better."
