Five brilliant stats from Billy Gilmour’s FA Cup performance for Chelsea
Billy Gilmour turned in another eye-catching performance as Chelsea progressed past Luton Town in the FA Cup.

We’ve collected five stats from his quietly faultless display at Stamford Bridge.
– Gilmour only touched the ball 84 times but his influence shaped the game.
– He made 70 accurate passes at Stamford Bridge, recording a pass accuracy of 92.1%

– 13 of his 16 long balls found their target, demonstrating the brilliant range of Gilmour’s passing.
– Gilmour even won both of his aerial duels against Luton Town. Not bad considering he’s only 5’7″.
– The 19-year-old also helped out his team defensively, making two clearances, blocking one shot and making two interceptions.
