Manchester United on-loan duo Jadon Sancho and Antony both made positive contributions to victories for their sides.

Sancho was given a start for Chelsea as they won a crucial match against Leicester City 1-0 to keep their Champions League hopes on track.

The Englishman has taken a lot of criticism recently as he has failed to provide a goal or an assist in over 10 matches and that streak continued yesterday in spite of an improved performance.

He was given an impressive score of 7.7 on Sofascore, playing the entire 90 minutes of action.

The 24 year old had 58 touches and completed 88% of his passes against the side in the relegation zone.

He made three key passes but none of his three crosses reached their intended target.

The winger had only one shot that was blocked but his biggest contribution was winning a penalty for his side, that Cole Palmer failed to convert.

He also won 100% of his aerial duels and 50% of his ground battles on the day.

Antony also continued his positive start to life in Spain with another victory for Real Betis as they beat Las Palmas 1-0.

The Brazilian played the entire 90 minutes, touching the ball 76 times in the game.

He also had a passing accuracy of 82%, connecting with 46 out of 56 passes.

Antony made an impressive five key passes in the game and created two big chances for his side, who were wasteful in front of goal.

The 25 year old had one shot blocked and was unsuccessful with any of his five dribble attempts in the game.

He also lost the ball 23 times as he tried to make things happen for los Verdiblancos.

They could both next be in European action as Chelsea welcome Copenhagen to Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Conference League last 16 on Thursday and Real Betis travel to Portugal to face Vitória S.C in the same competition.
