-

CITY BRING UP ANOTHER CENTURY

MANCHESTER CITY scored 102 goals in the Premier League this season. Below are the five times that this has been achieved in the competitio­n:

1984 VIRGIL VAN DIJK is the first outfield Liverpool player to play every minute in a title-winning campaign since Alan Hansen and Alan Kennedy in 1983-84.

10 NORWICH lost their final 10 games of the season. The Canaries are just the third side in Premier League history to lose 10 consecutiv­e games in a season. They follow Sunderland with 15 straight defeats in 2002-03 and Aston Villa with 11 in 2015-16. Unsurprisi­ngly, both of those sides came bottom too!

GAYLE FORCE

NEWCASTLE’S Dwight Gayle scored after 25 seconds against Liverpool. It is both the quickest goal ever scored on the final day of a Premier League season and the earliest goal Liverpool have ever conceded in the competitio­n.

34 ANDY CARROLL has now played 34 Premier League games without scoring a goal, his last goal in the league came for West Ham in April 2018.

YOUTHFUL ENERGY

WEST HAM’S Declan Rice is the fourth player aged 21 or under to play every minute of a Premier League season:

SUPER FRANK

FRANK LAMPARD finished fourth in his first season as a manager with Chelsea — the highest finish by a debuting English manager since Frank Clark with Nottingham Forest in 1994-95 (third place).

11 TOTTENHAM have finished in the top six in 11 straight seasons — last missing out in 2008-09 (eighth place).
