Reece James leads an unwanted list at Stamford Bridge this season after a nightmare Burnley outing saw him set the benchmark for Chelsea’s most inaccurate individual crossing performance in the Premier League.
It was a similar story for Chelsea against Burnley. The Blues looked dominant in the first half, fashioning plenty of chances and winning the ball back quickly.
However, the second half was a disappointment once again. Burnley grew into the game and made things difficult for Chelsea. There was no longer the free-flowing football; it was almost as if the Blues started to panic and go into their shell, and it wasn’t helped by Wesley Fofana’s red card.
The last collapse came against Leeds United, where the Blues let a two-goal lead slip, but this time you would have hoped that senior players like Reece James would have taken charge.
But James ended up setting an unwanted record instead in the Premier League.
It’s getting ridiculous now 😡
How can Liam Rosenior stop this?
Reece James records zero out of eight accurate crosses vs Burnley
The draw with Burnley saw Reece James set a joint record that many wouldn’t have imagined they would ever seen, given his high standards.
According to FotMob, Reece James failed to accurately cross the ball from eight attempts.
This ties Pedro Neto’s record of 0/8 accurate crosses against Wolves.
