England and Arsenal legend Ian Wright heaped praise on Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek after his performance against Southampton.
The 25-year-old was handed his first Premier League start of the season in the 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking on Match of the Day, Wright said: "What was good about Ruben Loftus-Cheek is that after the injury he had, going to Fulham, I didn't think we'd ever see him go back to this kind of form.
"The display today was magnificent. People say about Ruben Loftus-Cheek about his energy and it looked like he was playing in himself.
"But today, in his own box, in midfield, everything. One of the things he's going to have to do to stay in this Chelsea team, especially as someone who played in a pivot as a [midfield] two, is score more goals.
"The power, the skill, he's got everything. People say he hasn't got the energy, look at him now, this is scary.
"Looking at a Loftus-Cheek who looks to me like he's got the fire in his belly back. He's dangerous."
