The Premier League never ceases to amaze fans on a regular basis, with a number of moments taking place each and every time a fixture takes place.
For instance, there always seems to be a result that will surprise everybody, with Manchester City’s defeat to Crystal Palace and even Liverpool’s draw to Brighton & Hove Albion this past weekend going to have busted the accumulators that will have been created with the bookmakers that are available on sportwetten-vergleich.at.
However, we at TotalFootballAnalysis love the analytical side that the game brings, which is why the stats that continue to be created on each matchweek continue to fascinate us in great lengths.
These are just some of the impressive stats that occurred recently:
50 – Wilfried Zaha’s first-half effort against Manchester City meant he became the only Crystal Palace player to reach the 50-goal milestone in the Premier League. The Ivorian was clearly pumped up for the game and got his rewards.
7 – Reece James has been nothing short of spectacular for Chelsea this season and after grabbing a brace against Newcastle United on Saturday, the wing-back took his goal involvement tally to seven; the most for the club across all competitions.
2 – Norwich City’s season continues to go from bad to worse, as they were beaten by Leeds United on Sunday afternoon. The Canaries, who are winless this season, have only managed to take a total of two points from a possible 60 when taking their last Premier League campaign into account, as well.
36 – We all know that Cristiano Ronaldo loves to break a record whenever he plays the game, so it should not come as a surprise to learn that the game against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening allowed him to set another one. Aged 36y and 267d, the Portuguese superstar became the oldest player to score and provide an assist in the same Premier League game since Didier Drogba achieved that feat in 2014; interestingly, the Ivorian striker was the same age as Ronaldo when he set the record seven years ago.
With matchweek 11 set to come up at the weekend, there should be a number of other exceptional and brilliant stats to emerge. The Manchester derby between United and City at Old Trafford is just one of the games to look forward to, whilst Liverpool’s trip to the London Stadium to play West Ham United could be another that could produce a few more stats!
