The Mexican is feted as the world's pound-for-pound No 1 fighter on the back of that accomplishment. The first rumblings that this would be a Ryder Cup like no other began as the players arrived for Wednesday's gala dinner, when Steve Pate was thrown to the floor in a collision between two limousines. Pate made light of the incident and insisted he had suffered only minor bumps and bruises, and he sat down in the ballroom to enjoy a historical highlights reel from past Ryder Cup competitions that infuriated the European squad. England captain Emily Rudge, meanwhile, will become the all-time appearance leader when she wins her 24th cap, having made her debut against the French in 2008. Chilwell's injury punctuated Chelsea's dominance and Mendy was also forced into a rare save, pushing Weston McKennie's powerful drive over the crossbar, but there was still time for Chelsea to add a fourth.
