Jenkins playmaking was shining as he found divers from the post and was able to deliver passes throughout tight windows.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-644d5bd69fb4b"} /-->
