THE PREMIER LEAGUE IN SIXTY SECONDS

- By AADAM PATEL

BULLSEYE

ON his 50th Premier League start, Erling Haaland scored his 50th and 51st goals. No player has scored more in their first 50 starts.

Most PL goals in first 50 starts:

Erling Haaland ......................... 51 Alan Shearer ........................... 45 Andy Cole .................................. 41 Fernando Torres .................... 36 Mohamed Salah ..................... 36

MAIN MAN DOM

48 WITH 15 goals and assists in the league, Dominic Solanke has been directly involved in 48 per cent of Bournemout­h’s goals (15/31) this season — the highest share of any player for any side.

PLAYER PERCENTAGE

Dominic Solanke (15/31) 48

Ollie Watkins (21/49) 43 Matheus Cunha (15/37) 41 Mohamed Salah (22/55) 40 Erling Haaland (21/56) 38

A LONG TIME COMING

WITH victory at Luton, Sheffield United scored three goals in an away Premier League game for the first time since October 1993, ending a run of 84 games.

60

HOWEVER, the Blades have conceded 60 goals in 24 games — the fewest matches to concede 60 goals in a Premier League season. You have to go back to 1963-64 for the last time a top-flight side (Ipswich) conceded that many goals in 24 games. They conceded 121 goals in their 42 league games that season!

TOP OF THE CLASS

WITH an assist on Saturday, Trent Alexander-Arnold went ahead of his team-mate Andy Robertson to become the defender with the most assists in Premier League history:

ASSISTS

Trent Alexander-Arnold 58

Andy Robertson 57 Leighton Baines 53 Graeme Le Saux 44 Ian Harte 36 Andy Hinchcliff­e 36

A HAMMERING!

79 DAVID MOYES has conceded more Premier League goals against Arsenal than against any other side. In 38 games against Arsenal as manager of Everton, Manchester United and West Ham, he has leaked 79 goals.
