11 things you might have forgotten from last season’s Premier League
It’s been three months since the end of last season, so let’s refresh your memory.
Things move fast in football, but is three months enough to make you forget some key Premier League information?
If it is, no matter – here are 11 things you might have forgotten from the end of last season, starting with…
1. Arsenal aren’t in the Champions League
They’ll play Europa League football instead.
2. The first 21st century PL player
And coming on to replace Wayne Rooney late on against Crystal Palace was Angel Gomes, who, at 16 years and 263 days old, became the club’s youngest ever PL player and the division’s first player born in the year 2000.
3. Harry Kane has scored seven goals in two games
4. Five English teams could appear in the Champions League
That means Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United will make up five of the Champions League’s 32 group stage teams if Liverpool progress through qualifying.
5. Tom Heaton is the league’s best goalkeeper
Heaton’s 142 saves (as recorded by the FPL website) and 10 clean sheets for Burnley ensured the England goalkeeper earned more FPL points than any other Premier League goalkeeper last year.
6. Michy Batshuayi scored the league-winning goal
7. Goal of the season
8. Dele Alli scored more goals than Kylian Mbappe
That’s three fewer than Dele Alli, who scored 18 league goals from midfield in arguably a more difficult league.
9. Leicester were defending champions
10. White Hart Lane is no more
But with Spurs having won just two of their last 10 games at Wembley, is their place in a potential title race looking unlikely?
11. Southampton’s badge
