With the ball played on the halfway line by Levi ColwillSancho let it run through his legs, fooling Palace's Chris Richards.

He then spun around the defender, picked up the ball, carried it into the box and slipped between three defenders for Palmer to expertly collect and score.

The assist was Sancho's sixth in Chelsea colors since his loan went from manchester unitedand it came in just his 15th game in all competitions.

Incredibly, it is the same figure he recorded at Old Trafford, but in 83 games.

In the Premier League, four assists is already their highest figure ever, better than any Red Devils haul.

Sancho was signed by United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for £73m and has a reputation as one of the best players in world football.

However, he never settled at the club and left on loan to Dortmund for the second half of the 2023/24 season.

Despite links with a permanent return to Germany, he instead arrived at Stamford Bridge on loan with an obligation to buy.

The move was questioned with Chelsea stacked with players on the flanks, but the cream has since risen to the top.

The 24-year-old has started ten games, more than competitors for his position such as Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku.

He also ranks second in assists, with Enzo Fernández being the only player with more assists.
