Chelsea recorded a goalless draw away to Leeds United on Saturday afternoon – and some of the club’s supporters singled out their defender Antonio Rudiger on Twitter as a massive positive from the result.

Thomas Tuchel extended his unbeaten run as Blues manager on the weekend, but it was two points dropped in the Premier League after a 0-0 scoreline at Elland Road.

Despite going close on a couple of occasions in the first half, Chelsea couldn’t find a cutting edge in the final third, and the attack was somewhat disappointing.

Meanwhile, the defence continued its remarkable form with yet another clean sheet.

Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy made a couple of stunning saves, while the backline was resilient.

The 28-year-old defender appeared to get his head on every cross into the Blues box, with some really crucial interceptions and blocks.

A managerial change has seen him reignite his best form, something which is great news for the Blues defence.
