FC Player of the Day, 14 Nov: Chilwell the assist king

Martin Macdonald

Ben Chilwell is coming of age in the 2019-20 season to become an integral part of the Leicester City and England teams.

His best performance in an England shirt came in the 7-0 win against Montenegro, with him recording three assists, for the first three goals, within the first 30 minutes of play.

All of his assists came after providing vital width down the left-hand side, with the first setting up Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and the next two for Harry Kane.

He could have, and perhaps should have, recorded more if not for the profligacy of his team-mates, as he sent 10 crosses into the box in total, as well as 25 passes into the final third.

Defensively, he continually pinned Montenegro back with 12 ball recoveries.
