Reports are out claiming that the weekend’s action saw Jamie Vardy break a Premier League record for scoring in 11 consecutive matches.
However there was another intriguing statistic that popped up over the course of the 10 English top flight fixtures.
According to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index, Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla became the first player this season to complete 1000 passes making him the most accomplished passer in the Premier League at this moment.
