Reece James registered his eighth assist of the Premier League season on Thursday night, equalling a record set by former Blues winger Eden Hazard.
Chelsea drew 1-1 with Leicester City on Thursday night in their penultimate home game of the Premier League season as James Maddison opened the scoring before Marcos Alonso equalised before half-time, volleying home James' cross. The England international took his assist tally for the season up to eight in the English top-flight, matching a record set by Hazard nine years ago.
Thomas Tuchel's side confirmed their third-place finish with the point against the Foxes due to the Blues' significantly better goal difference over Tottenham in the league table, having secured Champions League football for next season after results went their way last week. James will be part of a new defensive unit next season with the likes of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen set to leave once their contracts expire at the end of the season.
