Reece Oxford’s performance against Hamburg this evening was tracked by Twitter account @ScouedFtbal who recorded an impressive set of stats for the Hammers youngster.
Playing in a holding midfield role, the England under-20 star came off to a big reception from his manager at the end of Gladbach’s 3-1 win, hardly surprising seeing the stats.
He had:
O 62 touches
O made 40 of 47 passes
O 3 interceptions
O 3 clearances
O 2/5 aerial duels
O 2/2 tackles
O 2 fouls
O 2 fouls won
O and 1 shot which hit the cross bar.
Given his lack of action this season he looked entirely at ease in a top-level league during a very good performance.
Hammers academy boss Terry Westley has always claimed that Reece is very much the real deal and it certainly looked that way tonight as he went about cementing his place in the German outfit first team over the rest of the Bundesliga season.
