Eight crosses from defense
Gusto had eight crosses (three accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester United.
Analysis: Gusto was once again in his typical starting role at right-back, notching 22 starts in 30 appearances this season. He would have a decent match both ways, notching three chances created and eight crosses in the attack to go along with one tackle and two clearances in the defense. He remains a decent threat on both sides of the ball, recording five goal contributions despite his full-back position.
Delivers assist in win
Gusto delivered one assist to go with two chances created in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.
Analysis: Gusto was all over Chelsea's buildup in this one, winning the corner that led to Jorrel Hato's opener and then whipping in a dangerous ball from the right that Tosin Adarabioyo buried for the fourth goal in the 57th minute. He closed with two chances created and one interception across 85 minutes before coming off late, turning in a steady shift down the right side. Gusto had been capped at one half in each of his previous two appearances for the Blues, but after featuring for France and then going nearly the distance Saturday, he looks fully back to full fitness.
