What a performance by Ecuadorian winger Jefferson Montero!

Montero absolutely destroyed Chelsea full back Branislav Ivanovic at every opportunity. Twisting and turning, sprinting or slowing the ball down to walking pace, Montero was untouchable.

Ivanovic was voted in the 2014/2015 PFA Team of the Year last season, but that did not deter Montero attacking him at every chance.

Montero provided the cross which led to Andre Ayew's goal, and was a constant menace all game.

The Ecuadorian was very impressive last year, but if he keeps up this early form he could have an even better season.

Chelsea have a game next week so I wonder if Montero will be kind enough to let Ivanovic out of his back pocket...
