Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is now one of six players to win the Champions League, Premier League and World Cup.

The French midfielder played brilliantly in the Blues' 1-0 win against Manchester City last night to join the exclusive club.

Since the old First Division and European Cup were both re-branded into the Premier League and Champions League in 1992, only half-a-dozen players have won both competitions and the World Cup.

Kante joined Fabien Barthez, Thierry Henry, Juliano Belletti, Gerard Pique and Pedro in that club with his man-of-the-match performance against Pep Guardiola's side.

Other players had achieved the feat before 1992, most notably Manchester United legends Bobby Charlton and Nobby Stiles – part of the England team that won the World Cup in 1966.
