Jadon Sancho is beginning to flourish under the guidance of Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, a transformation highlighted by his impressive performances this season.
The 24-year-old has already equalled his assist total from his Manchester United tenure—achieving it in 68 fewer games—showing just how much he is enjoying his football at Stamford Bridge.
Sancho’s impact was on full display during Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, where he set up Cole Palmer’s opener with a moment of brilliance.
Speaking to Match of the Day about the assist, Sancho reflected on the instinctive skill that made it possible. A quick dummy through his legs left Palace defender Chris Richards scrambling, as Sancho spun around him, regained control, and delivered a perfect pass to Palmer.
The winger wasn’t just contributing in attack; he was also putting in the hard yards defensively, tracking back and helping in his own box during the second half.
Sancho’s resurgence is remarkable given his struggles at Old Trafford, where he was often labelled a flop. However, under Maresca’s management, he appears to be silencing his critics.
At just 24 years old, Sancho still has plenty to offer, and his determination to prove doubters wrong is evident. With each passing game, he continues to show glimpses of the prodigious talent that once made him one of the most sought-after players in Europe.
