Chelsea have made a brilliant start this season, having not lost a single game so far. As they prepare for a Carabao Cup clash against Derby County on Wednesday, their official Twitter account shared an interesting stat from our win over Burnley.
The Blues featured a midfield of Jorginho, Ross Barkley and N’Golo Kante at Turf Moor and each midfielder had a pass percentage of over 92%.

The trio helped Maurizio Sarri’s men to a comfortable win with Barkley scoring a goal and providing a couple of assists too.
Jorginho has been excellent for us since he signed from Napoli, and Kante seems to have gotten to grips with his advanced role under the new manager.
The Blues look incredible thus far, and one can only imagine what Sarri would have achieved had he arrived at the club earlier.
The Italian didn’t get a complete pre-season with the team. However, we are on track for a great campaign.
The stats indeed were great, and many fans reacted to the same on Twitter.
That’s the spirit of the new sarris style.

Our midfield is the best in the Premier League 👏👏👏

That’s the quality You See when you don’t just focus on passing all ball to Hazard let the ball flow round the field.

The days of complaining about Bakayoko in midfield and how Kante had to do all the work last season seems like an eon ago. Our midfield depth is fantastic, there is so much talent there and they are all bringing out the absolute best in each other. Long may it continue! 🔥🔝👏

Kante low key rarely gives the ball away. He is supposed to be a destroyer but his technical ability is showing more under #Sarriball. #Baller!
