Follow us on Google Discover

Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and West Brom stars all feature.

We’ve taken a look at some of the top peformers from the latest round of the English Barclays Premier League.

Most successful final third passes

NameTeamSuccessful final third passes
Eden HazardChelsea31
Jordan HendersonLiverpool25
David SilvaManchester City24
Gareth BarryEverton23
WillianChelsea23

No surprise to see Hazard appearing on this list. He’s been world class this season and Jordan Henderson also deserves a mention because he made it difficult for United to get possession away from their defence.

Most tackles won

NameTeamTackles won
Jon FlanaganLiverpool7
FabioCardiff City7
Marc MuniesaStoke City7
Marcos AlonsoSunderland6
Joe AllenLiverpool6

Three players can’t be separated on this list but Flanagan deserves a mention for a very mature performance in a hostile environment at Old Trafford. He gets better and better.

Most effective clearances

NameTeamEffective clearances
Curtis DaviesHull City21
Per MertesackerArsenal20
Fernando AmorebietaFulham17
Laurent KoscielnyArsenal15
Damien DelaneyCrystal Palace15

Davies’ heroics at the back weren’t enough to stop his side from losing but Arsenal’s Mertesacker was influential in helping his side to keep a clean sheet, as Tottenham piled the pressure onto their local rivals.

Most accurate passes

NameTeamAccurate passes
Angel RangelSwansea City93
Leon BrittonSwansea City84
Gareth BarryEverton83
José CañasSwansea City78
Morgan SchneiderlinSouthampton77

The disappointing thing about the three Swansea stars featuring on this list is that they couldn’t stop a defeat at home to West Brom. Accurate passing is important but Swansea struggled to convert that skill into goals.

Most touches

NameTeamTouches
Angel RangelSwansea City137
Gareth BarryEverton106
Leighton BainesEverton103
Leon BrittonSwansea City103
Morgan SchneiderlinSouthampton102

The Everton guys get a mention in this section because they were both superb in terms of their touch and positioning throughout the win against Cardiff. Baines made sure there was an outlet for the defence while Barry connected the back four and the midfield superbly.

Most interceptions

NameTeamInterceptions
Youssuf MulumbuWest Bromwich Albion8
Ashley WilliamsSwansea City5
Craig DawsonWest Bromwich Albion5
Alex Oxlade-ChamberlainArsenal5
Pablo ZabaletaManchester City4

Mulumbu read the game brilliantly against Swansea, which made it difficult for the Swans to move the ball forward. Intercepting the ball allowed Mulumbu to offload and the Baggies to keep up the pressure.

Most total attack assists

NameTeamTotal attack assists
James MorrisonWest Bromwich Albion4
Eden HazardChelsea4
Ahmed ElmohamadyHull City4
Ashley WestwoodAston Villa4
Alexander KacaniklicFulham4

Again, it’s not surprising to see Hazard near the top of this list. Morrison deserves some praise because he’s now given Pepe Mel a problem in terms of improving his chances of starting over the rest of the season.

Most successful dribbles

NameTeamSuccessful dribbles
Eden HazardChelsea5
Alex Oxlade-ChamberlainArsenal4
Daniel SturridgeLiverpool4
Jay RodriguezSouthampton4
Guy DemelWest Ham United4

The Belgian just keeps on appearing, with more successful dribbles over the weekend than any other player. He has to be somwhere near the pak of his form at the moment.

Most shots on target

NameTeamShots on target
Rickie LambertSouthampton2
Jonathan De GuzmánSwansea City2
Fraizer CampbellCardiff City2
Marko ArnautovicStoke City2
Cameron JeromeCrystal Palace2

Nothing really to read into this section as there’s nothing which separates the top performers. De Guzman and Campbell will feel annoyed as their efforts came in losing causes.

Most saves

NameTeamSaves
AdriánWest Ham United6
Vito MannoneSunderland5
Joe HartManchester City5
David MarshallCardiff City4
David de GeaManchester United4

Mannone gets the nod in this section because were it not for his saves, the Black Cats wouldn’t have kept a clean sheet for a vital point against Crystal Palace.
