• Callum Hudson-Odoi registered his 10th assist for Chelsea in the EPL against Aston Villa on Boxing Day
• The new milestone saw the Englishman become the youngest Blues star to bag 10 assists in the league
• The record was previously held by Arjen Robben who registered nine assists aged just 20 during his debut season at Stamford Bridge

Callum Hudson-Odoi has inked his name in Chelsea's history books after becoming the youngest player at the club to register 10 assists in the Premier League.

The record was previously held by Arjen Robben who turned out for the Blues between 2004 and 2007.

Hudson-Odoi set the new record while in action against Aston Villa on Boxing Day as Thomas Tuchel's charges hammered Villa 3-1 to revive their title hopes.

Metro UK reports the 21-year-old Englishman registered his 10th assist of the season when he won a penalty in the first half of Chelsea’s victory over Aston Villa.

Robben, on the other hand, joined Chelsea at aged 20 and registered nine assists in his debut Premier League season before getting his 10th at the start of the 2005/06 campaign.

After initially struggling for first-team action, Hudson-Odoi has thrived over the last few months under Tuchel.

And his impressive performance at Villa Park did not escape the eye of Tuchel who showered him with praises in his post-match interview.

"I think he was brilliant," the Chelsea boss was quoted saying.

"I was never frustrated with him today. He had one bad decision under pressure when he tried to do a back-heel in front of the coaching staff, maybe there was an easier solution to escape the pressure with an easy pass, there was a clear pass to NG [N’Golo Kante]. But I was never frustrated with him today," he added.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's win away from home has them sitting third on the log with 41 points, on level with second-placed Liverpool.
