4 – Huddersfield Town’s Derensili Sanches Fernandes has eight goal contributions in League One this season (4 goals, 4 assists) – he's the only player across England’s top three tiers to produce 4+ in each category so far in 2026-27. Output. #OptaOnEFL

02:29 - Only Emile Heskey against Derby County in April 1998 inside the opening two minutes has a player both scored and assisted earlier in a Premier League game than Jordan Henderson against Bournemouth (02:29). Rapid.

60% – Unter allen 154 Torhütern, die in dieser Saison in den Top-10-Ligen Europas mind. 60 lange Pässe gespielt haben, kam dabei kein Keeper auf so eine hohe Passgenauigkeit wie Marc-André ter Stegen (60%) bei Ajax Amsterdam in der Eredivisie. Comeback.
