Chelsea's Romeo Lavia delivered a top-class performance in their recent 2-0 win over Manchester United, according to head coach Xabi Alonso. Lavia, who played the full 90 minutes for the first time since his move from Southampton, showcased his quality with a high pass success rate and key contributions in tackles and interceptions. His performance has been crucial, especially with three of Chelsea's five wins this season coming with Lavia in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Sunderland faces Chelsea on Sunday, with the home side currently at the bottom of the Premier League table, having secured only five points from their first nine games. Defender Trai Hume has dismissed any impact of transfer speculation on the team, emphasizing the need for the entire squad to step up and improve their performance.
