Handed the Man of the Match award, Matic showed once again that he is becoming more and more important to Chelsea.
Many have tried and many have failed to recreate the success and dominance Claude Makelele wielded in the middle of the park for Chelsea a decade ago, and finally, Jose Mourinho might have found his man.
Matic is superb and will be the player that Chelsea fans and their manager come to see as being as vital as John Terry or Diego Costa.
