N’Golo Kante, are you feeling okay, mate? Why have you just caught the ball in the middle of a football match?
The Chelsea star is renowned as one of the best midfielders on the planet, with his meteoric rise since signing for Leicester City the reasoning behind that.
Five years down the line, Kante has two Premier League titles and a World Cup winners’ medal – but he’s not perfect, nobody is.

It’s not entirely clear why Kante thought the game was not continuing, or perhaps he wasn’t thinking at all, but it’s very rare that you see an incident of this nature.
Frank Lampard will be ever so slightly concerned to see someone who is so important to Chelsea’s midfield apparently asleep in the middle of the game.
