From the source

Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia is an amazing footballer but has also shown that he is a true professional. Lavia played arguably his best game in a Chelsea shirt over the weekend after starring in his side’s 2-0 win against Manchester United.

It was the second consecutive match where the 22-year-old was able to complete the full 90 minutes. During the week, he also completed 90 minutes against Liverpool and scored his spot-kick in the penalty shoot-out at Anfield.

Everyone knows Lavia is a top midfielder when he is fit, but the Belgian has also proven to be a top professional. Last season, Lavia missed Chelsea’s FA Cup final against Manchester City because of an injury.
