Post Match Burnley 1 Leicester 2

[FOX Franks]

Maddison has created and scored some good goals this season. No doubt he occasionally overplays it, but he is still learning his craft.
The concern I have for him is he believes his own hype, and it goes to his head very quickly.

Good management and he should turn into a genuinely excellent player though!

Can they construct a sentence properly?

"James Maddison is the first Leicester player to score two direct free-kick goals in a single Premier League season. "

Remarkable if true (I suppose it is). I didn't think they were all that rare.

I though Les Ferdinand scored a few but I guess not

The stat came from Opta. I think their stats on free kick goals only go back to 2006.

Maguire's red card was very early on. However, it wasn't the quickest red we've received.

Six years ago, Wes Morgan was sent off in the third minute of a game against Millwall. It was also a professional foul that resulted in a free kick just outside the area which Schmeichel then saved. We dug in, like yesterday, and there was a late decider. However, that time the goal was for Millwall and we lost.

It was also a game notable for Kane and Vardy sitting on the bench for us while we huffed and puffed with first choice forwards Nugent and Wood. Kane came on just before Millwall scored the winner.

Of the thirteen players we used that day, ten are currently Premier League players, but with seven different Premier League teams. The three that aren't in the Premier League were last seen playing for three dog awful teams - East Thurrock Utd, Melbourne City and Derby.

Weren't his free-kick goals usually rolled to him by another player?

Stef Oakes? Sunderland in the 5-2 and Spuds away under Bertie Bassett?

I'm guessing Paul Konchesky, Danny Tiatto and David Nugent???

 

[Skitzo]

Tiatto was long gone

The Melbourne City one it Ritchie de Laet, he’s there on loan now

Couple of records we now hold (sorry if already posted). I think they are PL post-1992/opts stats records as ever

• Longest gap between a sub coming on and scoring a goal (courtesy of James Richardson podcast)
• earliest a team has been down to ten men and then won

Not possible to be much longer (90 mins wasn't it?)!

86mins Wes scores in the 90th minute

86mins Wes scores in the 90th minute

Morgan came on in the 6th minute, a couple of minutes after Maguire was sent off.

Morgan came on in the 6th minute, a couple of minutes after Maguire was sent off.

I thought that but kept hearing it was immediate, 84 mins then unlikely to see that record broken any time soon
