The 21-year-old has endured a difficult start to life in Manchester but was offered the chance to rediscover that sparkling form he showed in Germany and Sancho has immediately repaid the confidence shown in him.

Phil Foden’s diagonal pass found Sancho, who took his time in controlling the ball before laying it off to Chilwell, and the Chelsea star could make no mistake with the goal at his mercy.

What a moment for @BenChilwell! ?

The @ChelseaFC defender had to wait for a lengthy VAR review… but he has his first @England goal ?
