David Luiz had been the Chelsea player at the eye of the storm in recent weeks.
Poor performances against Tottenham and Everton had him on the hotseat, and some fans were demanding to see Andreas Christensen start against Man City.
The Brazilian bounced back with a simply majestic showing. He got the goal to seal the win, but there were more stats that showed just how well he did.
WhoScored have him down as making just two tackles yesterday, but remember they were both vital stops in the six yard box. He also made an impressive 7 clearances, blocked a shot and won FIVE aerial duels.
Let’s not forget it was his superb long diagonal that opened Manchester City up at the death in the first half and allowed Chelsea to score.
He will always have flaws in his game, but it’s not hard to see why managers like him when he can have games like this.
