Ross Barkley’s goal equalled an unlikely record and also proved to Premier League fans that the former Everton man is back to his best under new Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri.
Barkley’s resurgence was noticed by England manager Gareth Southgate who recalled the attacking midfielder to his Three Lions squad in the most recent international break.
Barkley is beginning to look like one of the surprise packages so far this season.
