Earns rare assist Schar provided one assist on one chance created during Saturday's 1-0 win over Burnley.

Schar has missed the majority of the second-half due to a knee injury, but when he did play he was a solid rock on the backline. Luckily for him he seems to be getting fit just in time for Euros to start next month.
