Chelsea FC qualified early for the Champions League. Young full-back Reece James (just turned 22) breaks an Eden Hazard record in impressive fashion.
Champions League: In the penultimate game of the season, Chelsea qualified for the Champions League. A draw against Leicester is enough for the team around coach Thomas Tuchel. Full-back Reece James equals a record previously held by Eden Hazard, reports football london.
New Eden Hazard? Reece James’ assist in Alonso’s equalizer takes him to eight assists in the Premier League – the most by a player under the age of 22 in a single season for the Blues since Eden Hazard in 2012/13. The England international is now the second most goals and assists by a defender in the league at 13.
Lots of quality: James has proven this season that he can consistently play at the highest level. The full-back is always an excellent pass station, especially when he rushes forward to be able to make the difference with his passes or his finishes.
