The French star netted a second-half winner as Chelsea knocked out FA Cup holders Manchester United to advance through to the semi-finals of the competition.
It was another all action display by the 25-year-old as he won the battle with Paul Pogba in midfield and got on the scoresheet (a rare occurrence).
Yet more evidence, if ever it was needed, that Kante is becoming the complete player.
Indeed, former England striker Gary Lineker tweeted as much.
Bloody hell, if @nglkante starts scoring goals as well he'll become the best midfield player ever.

And, WhoScored.com, very much backs up Lineker’s claim with stats of their own:
