Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher hailed the performance N'Golo Kate for victory at Bournemouth.

Gallagher struck in the 3-1 win, with Kante outstanding in a more advanced midfield position.

"NG can run all day. He probably made about 100 of those forward runs which is really effective and I think my position is my favourite position and it worked well," said Gallagher.

Benoit Badiashile and Noni Madueke also impressed at Dean Court.

"They are obviously great players," said Gallagher. "Maybe they haven't played as much as they'd have liked because of the number of players in our squad but they showed great professionalism and I thought they were brilliant.

"Noni has been waiting for his opportunity and got it against Arsenal and on Saturday, and he showed what he can do. I knew what he's like because of England Under-21s. He's very young so he's got even more to go. It's very exciting for him to be here."
