Stamford Bridge, London, Britain - March 4, 2023. Chelsea's Wesley Fofana celebrates scoring their first goal with Ben Chilwell.
Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell has been praised for his ‘excellent’ delivery during the Premier League game vs Leeds United by journalist Nizaar Kinsella.
The Lowdown: Victory at the Bridge
The Blues were the hosts at Stamford Bridge where Graham Potter and his side secured a much-needed 1-0 victory over the Whites thanks to a goal from Wesley Fofana on 53 minutes.
The France U21s international rose highest to meet Chilwell’s teasing corner into the box to give supporters and the boss something to smile about after a miserable run of form in 2023.
The Latest: Kinsella’s reaction
Taking to Twitter, Kinsella couldn’t speak highly enough of Chilwell and insisted that getting the assist was fully deserved. He wrote:
“Ben Chilwell’s delivery has been excellent all game. Earned that assist.”
Will Chelsea finish in the top four?
Yes
No
The Verdict: Standout performer
Chilwell only received a match rating of 6.8 which is surprisingly considerably lower than several of his Chelsea teammates but he deserves credit for the shift that he put in this afternoon.
The Blues left-back not only got his assist but also whipped ten crosses into the box throughout the course of the 90 minutes, highlighting the threat he brought to the final third.
The England defender additionally produced 31 accurate passes out of 40 alongside winning half of his aerial duels, as per SofaScore.
Potter was desperately in need of three points to relieve some of the increasing pressure he’s been under so this victory thanks to the contribution of Chilwell will, hopefully for him, mark the start of a decent run of form in the weeks ahead.
