Wins 11 duels in draw
Fofana registered one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Hull City.
Analysis: Fofana sat out the cup tie in midweek and returned to the back line against Hull, extending a run in which he has started every game since his suspension was served. He made two tackles, one interception and three clearances, won 11 duels (six aerials) and completed 80 passes with three accurate long balls among them, and he was at his most useful when he broke forward with the ball to relieve the pressure of a low block. The afternoon ended in a draw after Chelsea conceded twice in quick succession before the interval, though he was one of the few to emerge with credit.
Records 10 clearances
Fofana registered three tackles (three won), 10 clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Arsenal.
Analysis: Fofana produced a highly active defensive display, leading Chelsea with 10 clearances while winning each of his three tackles. He has registered 17 clearances and three interceptions across his two Premier League appearances this season, showing the ball-winning and aerial qualities he can provide when available. His ability to deal with pressure inside the defensive third should keep him prominent in Chelsea's center-back rotation.
