Lucas Digne

That cross was truly top class.

Back to joint top in the PL for assists from a defender this season with five.

There would be some attacking midfielders or wingers happy with that for a campaign.

He has the quality to deliver that sort of ball, so it's frustrating he doesn't do it more often.

Though TBF, I think this season he's been taking one for the team. Cash has been bombing forward more than previous campaigns and, with the prep Emery puts in, you'd assume that's by design rather than accident.

World class delivery in big circumstances when, to be honest, heads had gone elsewhere.

Called up to the France squad for the World Cup.

Didier Deschamps has named 26 players who will represent Les Bleus in USA, Canada and Mexico in the summer.

And the 32-year-old is one of nine defenders in the France squad, who will be looking to back up consecutive appearances in the final, after losing on penalties to Argentina in 2022.

The French outfit will compete in Group I, opening their campaign against Senegal on Tuesday, June 16, before taking on Iraq and Norway.

Well done Lucas.

France are the best country at football in the world so it's great that there's a Villan there.

Not bad for someone whose "legs have gone"
