Jacob Murphy - Scores first UCL goal Murphy scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 6-1 win over Qarabag.

Impact Murphy capped the night with a deflected shot for his first Champions League goal this season. The goal is a rare bright spot in a down year, as the winger has struggled to replicate his form from last season when he started 31 league games and contributed nine goals and 14 assists. This season, he has made just 18 starts in all competitions, with only five in his last 13 appearances, and has three goals and three assists to his name.

The winger was involved throughout on the left, recording a season high six shots while also creating two chances. He also set a new season high defensively with four tackles in a dominant performance against Qarabag.

Across his last five appearances, the right back has created 10 chances, sent in 26 crosses, and contributed defensively with eight tackles, 15 clearances, one interception and one block.
