TWEETS: Peter Crouch puts Premier League in its place over his goalscoring record

If you are the Premier League and you are throwing stats around, they better be accurate.

Stoke City are away to Burnley this week and Peter Crouch is hoping to get on the scoresheet again. The former Liverpool striker has seven goals this season, which have helped the Potters to a certain, comfortable Top 10 finish. Crouch has a respectable goalscoring record against most clubs but a Premier League boffin sold him short last night:

Crouch must have seen the tweet over his Corn Flakes this morning. He quickly set the record straight.
