Andreas Christensen making 'welcome' history at Chelsea

Andreas Christensen is making history at Chelsea.

The Dane has become Chelsea's first club-grown player to start three successive Premier League games since John Terry.

After starring in wins over Manchester United and West Brom – with Chelsea keeping clean sheets in both games – Christensen was given the nod for the weekend draw against Liverpool.

The Dane played 90 minutes in all three matches, and is now the first academy graduate to accomplish the feat since Stamford Bridge legend Terry broke through in the 2000/2001 campaign, reports The Sun.

Christensen spent the last two seasons on loan at German giants Borussia Monchengladbach.
