Game of the Week

Sunderland 2 v 3 Crystal Palace

  • Two teams unlikely to feature regularly in this section but another exciting finale in a Palace game. They have now secured three points from games in which they have scored in injury time

  • Palace score 9 goals in three consecutive games for first time in their Premier league history and are in their highest position (7th) after six games

  • Since Defoe joined Sunderland, he accounts for 35% of the team’s goals. Only Kane(37%) at Tottenham has a higher proportion for clubs that have been in the top tier ever since then

However, as can be seen, Arsenal had an even longer period of dominance; at one stage going 19 games without a loss - although all but two were ties or single goal victories


Chart of Week
