CHELSEA star N'Golo Kante should think about changing his name to N'Golo Messi.
At least that's what his Chelsea team-mate Michy Batshuayi thinks based on his performance last night.
Chelsea recorded an impressive 4-2 victory against Southampton to extend their lead at the top to seven points.
Recently crowned PFA Player of the Year Kante was in sensational form for Antonio Conte's side once again.
Ngolo Messi tonight almost got assist of the year 
great game from the lads, and 3 important points 
have a good night yall

And at one point the talented midfielder came close to pulling off an assist that even Barcelona star Lionel Messi would be proud of. great game from the lads, and 3 important points have a good night yall #CFCKante picked up the ball on the right flank and went on a mazy run into the box as he dribbled past several players before attempting to cut it back for his team-mate.
Had his pass found Diego Costa and not the Southampton defender it would have been one of the best assists of the season if the Spaniard converted.
But despite the move not coming off, Batshuayi was clearly impressed by Kante's display.
He tweeted: "Ngolo Messi tonight almost got assist of the year great game from the lads, and 3 important points have a good night yall #CFC".
A win for the Blues last night edged them closer to securing their first Premier League title under Conte.
Tottenham know they must win against Crystal Palace tonight (8pm) if they want to keep the pressure on the league leaders.
