Sends six crosses in surprise start Shaw created two chances, sent six crosses (two accurate), took four corners, made one tackle (one won) and intercepted once during the 1-1 draw against Everton on Saturday.
Impact Shaw continued to be the set-piece guru and he joined the attack a few times during the draw Saturday. After it was almost certain that Shaw would miss this match, he managed to slide into the starting XI late and luckily he did so.
