The World Cup-winning midfielder was below-par as his team lost their Premier League unbeaten record at the hands of Spurs on Saturday
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has been criticised by two former Premier League stars over his treatment of N'Golo Kante, who they believe is playing in the "wrong position".
Kante has established himself as one of the world's elite defensive midfielders in recent seasons, after bursting onto the scene with Leicester City.
Back-to-back Premier League titles with the Foxes and Chelsea cemented his reputation, while Kante also played a starring role in France's World Cup win this summer.
