The England man attempted 11 crosses – the most of the entire side. Six of those crosses were successful, which was also the most of any member of the team.
Shaw also created the most chances of the whole team, with four, and provided the assist for Bruno Fernandes’ wonder goal just before half-time.

The fact that Shaw made such a massive contribution from the left flank also underlines how ineffective Anthony Martial was on the wing. He was virtually anonymous before being substituted for the excellent Mason Greenwood after 66 minutes.
As for Shaw, his assist makes it five for the season in the Premier League – the most he has recorded in any season with fourteen games to spare.
Luke Shaw has registered 5 assists in the PL this season, the most he’s ever registered in a league season.
