Verbruggen becomes the fifth goalkeeper to register an assist in this Premier League season

Today, Brighton is hosting Chelsea in the 25th round of the Premier League, and an unusual event occurred in the first half.

Details: Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen provided an assist. Following a pass from the Dutch shot-stopper, Kaoru Mitoma broke into a scoring position and opened the scoring in the match.

Verbruggen is now the fifth goalkeeper to record an assist in this Premier League season. Previously, Ederson, Mark Flekken, Bernd Leno, and Jordan Pickford also achieved this feat. This is the highest number of goalkeepers with an assist in a single season since 2010/11.

The 22-year-old Verbruggen has played 23 Premier League matches this season.

Reminder: During the match, Chelsea lost winger Noni Madueke due to injury.
