Headline: Goalkeeper Turned Playmaker! Robert Sánchez Makes Premier League History for Chelsea
Robert Sánchez is redefining the role of a modern goalkeeper in the Premier League. The Chelsea shot-stopper became the first keeper this season to create five chances, capping it off with a brilliant assist for João Pedro’s equaliser.
The Spaniard also made history as the first Chelsea goalkeeper in over a decade to register an assist in a Premier League match, and only the second keeper overall this season to set up a goal, after West Ham’s Alphonse Areola.
To top it off, Sánchez currently leads the league in clean sheets with eight, underlining his all-round impact between the posts.
From saves to assists, Sánchez is proving he’s much more than just a last line of defence. 😍
