According to Opta, the goal ensures Rogers becomes only the fifth player in club history to score or assist in each of the first four matches of a Premier League campaign.

The playmaker joins Didier Drogba (2010/11), Cesc Fàbregas (2014/15), Diego Costa (2014/15 and 2016/17), and Eden Hazard (2018/19) in accomplishing the feat.

The early-season output continues Rogers' journey towards justifying the record-breaking financial investment Chelsea made to secure his services during the summer transfer window.

Rogers has responded by delivering three goals and four assists across all competitions during the opening weeks of the 2026/27 campaign.

His latest contribution secured a point during a fixture which saw João Pedro score a 66th-minute equaliser to cancel out a first-half brace from Hull City winger Mohamed Belloumi.
