His ball retention and positioning supported a clean sheet and a territorial edge that ultimately lacked a finish. Hughes has now contributed 10 crosses, five chances created, five tackles and nine clearances in four games this season as he begins the campaign as an undisputed starter in central midfield under coach Oliver Glasner.
