Murphy for England?
- Published
It is quite odd for a player to have a breakthrough season aged 30, but that is exactly what is happening with Jacob Murphy, who did not start more than 17 Premier League matches in a single season until this campaign.
Murphy had a goal, an assist and a whole host of other chances created all before half-time in Wednesday's 5-0 win over Crystal Palace.
It means, of all the English players in the Premier League this season, only Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins have more goal involvements than Murphy.
Or, put another way, Murphy has a higher combined goals and assists total this term than Phil Foden, Anthony Gordon, Morgan Rogers, Marcus Rashford, Eberechi Eze and Dominic Solanke - who were all in the last England squad.
