Breakdown of how many goals Chelsea defenders have scored this season

Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta were the goalscorers for Chelsea in the FA Cup win against Plymouth yesterday evening.

As we all know, this isn't the first time a Chelsea defender has scored this season and saved the team. In fact, the Blues are having an extraordinary campaign in terms of how much the defence has contributed to the attack!

Let's break down the number of goals our defenders have been involved in across the season (in all competitions):

Thiago Silva: 3 goals, 2 assists

Antonio Rudiger: 3 goals, 4 assists

Marcos Alonso: 2 goals, 3 assists

Ben Chilwell: 3 goals, one assist

Reece James: 5 goals, 6 assists

Trevoh Chalobah: 3 goals

Andreas Christensen: 2 goals, one assist

Cesar Azpilicueta: 1 goal, 3 assists

Overall, that's a total contribution of 22 goals and 20 assists from the defence - they have been directly involved in a whopping 42 goals this season!

While this is a cause for celebration, the attack must now step up too. Nevertheless, we applaud the defenders for their contribution to the goals.
