"I'm very happy to have scored four goals, and I hope to continue. I'm very happy to have extended my contract and scored my fourth goal.
"I hope it continues and that I score many more goals and have a much greater influence on the game. I hope so."

"I think we played really well as a team," Kanté continued. "We all stuck together, even when things weren't going so well and when they were playing a bit better. It was a real team effort, a top performance from the whole team.
