These statistics of Ryan Fredericks by Squawka football on Twitter show such how much of an amazing game the 24 year old had on Saturday.
Fredericks said on BBC Match of the day “Hopefully I’ve shown the manager he doesn’t need to spend millions on a right back in the summer.”
Prior to Saturday, it was nearly ten years since a defender had received a perfect ‘10’ rating from the respected football statistics website WhoScored.com.
Arsenal’s Thomas Vermaelen was the last to receive such a glowing assessment, back in October 2009, until West Ham Ryan Fredericks matched him!
The highlight of the afternoon came with 20 minutes remaining, when he collected the ball inside the Southampton half, played a one-two with Jack Wilshere, made his way into the penalty area and took advantage of a fortunate ricochet off Jack Stephens before firing unerringly across Fraser Forster and into the net for his first-ever Premier League goal.
