The definitive list of Premier League statistics for the whole season is here

Interesting

Dejan Lovren is error-ridden, George Boyd is a bloody workhorse and Sergio Aguero didn’t get nominated for a PFA award (what?).

The statistics for the Premier League season are here in black and white and there’s no hiding place from them.

Sky Sports released the stats for the whole campaign and they make for fascinating reading.

Christian Benteke is the king of the skies, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas are masters of the ball and Jason Shackell and Ashley Williams are unsung heroes at the back.

We don’t need to dress these up in any way, there’s no arguing with facts.

And here’s everything you need to know from the 38-game season just passed.
