Jadon Sancho stat emerges after outrageous assist for Chelsea against Crystal Palace and it looks like a typo

A shocking statistic about Jadon Sancho has emerged after he produced an incredible assist during Chelsea's Premier League match against Crystal Palace.

After three difficult years at Manchester United, Sancho completed a transfer to Premier League rivals Chelsea on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy for between £20-25m this summer.

Since arriving at the London club, the English winger has put in mixed performances as he has come in and out of Enzo Maresca's starting lineup.

But, after his impressive start in Chelsea's match against Crystal Palace, a shocking stat about his time with his new club has emerged, and United fans won't be happy.

Just 14 minutes into Chelsea's match on Saturday afternoon, star player Cole Palmer opened the scoring, putting the visitors ahead after being set up by Sancho.

It marks Sancho's fourth Premier League assist for Blues this season, which shockingly is more than he achieved in any of his three seasons playing for United.

Across all competitions, the winger has assisted six goals for Chelsea across 15 appearances in all competitions this season, the same number of assists achieved during his entire time at United.

In total, Sancho made 83 appearances for the Red Devils across all competitions, scoring 12 goals while assisting six.

However, while under contract with United, the Englishman spent some time on loan with former club Borussia Dortmund and had an extended period of time away from the pitch.

But, with far more appearances at the Manchester club than with Chelsea, you would expect that he would have managed more than four Premier League assists in a season, particularly given the fact that United paid a reported £73million to sign him in 2021.

Sancho's transfer from United came as a shock on the final day of the summer transfer window after the winger fell out of favour with former manager Erik ten Hag and United supporters.

Speaking about the move, Sancho said: "It's been a bit crazy. Obviously, it was the last day of the transfer window so it's expected to be a bit crazy, but I'm really happy it's all finally done.

"Chelsea is iconic. My idols growing up were Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard and now I have the opportunity to play for this club like them. It’s a great feeling."
