He was not on the scoreboard, but Jerdy Schouten fulfilled a major role in PSV's away win over Sparta Rotterdam (4-0). In his passing, he could hardly be caught wrong, and defensively Jerdy also showed himself.
Talisman
The midfielder had to miss a couple of Eredivisie games due to injury, but back inside the lines he immediately stood his ground. He played the entire match and stood out with his flawless passes. He sent 55, a high percentage of which actually reached a fellow player.
Jerdy Schouten | 96%
Sergiño Dest | 91%

Ball possession by interception
He prevailed with the ball at his foot, but Jerdy also stood out as a ball-handler. Eleven times he regained possession of the ball for PSV through an interception, together with Olivier Boscagli the most often of the team. That's considerably more than the runner-up, who came to seven times. Jerdy also tackled four times defensively. Only central defenders Olivier Boscagli and André Ramalho did that more often.
Jerdy Schouten & Olivier Boscagli | 11
