Scores header in FA Cup
Santos scored one goal and created two chances in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.
Analysis: Santos scored Chelsea's fifth goal in the 69th minute, crashing the back post to head home Estevao's corner after the opposing goalkeeper's run was cut off by his own teammate, giving the Brazilian his first goal since returning to his former club. He also helped dictate the pace next to Romeo Lavia in the double pivot, floating a first-time ball over Port Vale's back line to tee up Joao Pedro's goal in the 25th minute, and he ended his 90-minute shift with one goal and two chances created. Santos is expected to take on a bigger role until Enzo Fernandez returns from a club suspension.
Five interceptions in defeat
Santos recorded four tackles (three won) and five interceptions in Tuesday's 3-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Santos delivered a strong defensive performance despite Tuesday's 3-0 loss to PSG, recording four tackles, five interceptions and one key pass. The midfielder was in the starting XI due to Reece James' injury and could see increased minutes in the coming weeks, allowing him to build confidence and experience. He has started 16 of his 31 appearances across all competitions this season, registering 46 tackles and 27 interceptions during that span.
