Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante shocked the Liverpool players during the goalless draw at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

Kante has missed most of the season through injury and made his first start since August against Liverpool.

“It was almost as if some of the Liverpool players forgot who N’Golo Kante was and how good he is,” Carragher told Sky Sports.

“You don’t try and take him on or better him physically. You just need to stay away from him really. Two or three times Liverpool players tried to take him on.

“He’s been out for so long that some of the Liverpool players seemed to forget what N’Golo Kante is all about.”
