Chelsea star David Luiz: N’Golo Kante scores more goals in training than Cristiano Ronaldo
Blues midfielder netted rare strike in 4-0 thrashing of Manchester United... but apparently it's no surprise
N’GOLO KANTE scores more goals in training than Real Madrid icon Cristiano Ronaldo, according to team-mate David Luiz.
The former Leicester star waltzed through the shell-shocked Manchester United defence on Sunday to fire home the fourth goal for Antonio Conte’s side and complete the humiliation of former Blues boss Jose Mourinho.
It was the France midfielder’s first goal for the club and his defensive dedication and selfless work in front of the backline meant his team-mates were extra happy for the little grafter.

But Luiz claimed it came as no surprise as the pocket rocket is forever blasting goals home in training – even more than the former Old Trafford goal machine.
When asked about Kante’s goal, Luiz said. “This guy is a special guy, a fantastic person and a fantastic player.
“I think everybody saw, when he scored, that everybody was so, so happy for him.
“He is a totally amazing player and person and I am so happy for him.”
When asked if the move to Chelsea, from the title-winning Foxes, or the recent change in formation had brought about Kante’s rare Lionel Messi-like goal, Luiz said: “He scores a lot.
“In training he scores a lot, more than Ronaldo!”
