The balls of Di Matteo. To put the under-study left-back who most of us thought would never even see the light of breaking through, who seemed like he was destined to rot on our bench hampering his career day after day, to put him on the pitch. Outstanding. And didn't he handle it so well? No nerves displayed, confident, solid, reliable. It wasn't a "world class" performance, but he did the job necessary in keeping that left-hand side as compact as possible. His career just received a much deserved boost. Bright things for this lad, and I hope we see him get an England call-up in 2014.
