[Albion] A Goal for the Ages

[CP 0 3 BHA]

I thought Saturday's goal may have set a new Premier League record - and here is the confirmation!

There's also another nice article on there about Bruno.

I think claiming that Bruno's shanked shot was "a driven cross" was very generous...

 

[Mr Putdown]

What a cracking stat that is. I can’t see it being beaten unless they manage it again this season.

Indeed.

Great stat but football has been played longer than the premier league. So, what is the oldest pair ever? I would have thought Stanley Matthews might be involved...

Seriously, who keeps track of things like this.

Sir Stanley wouldn't have needed an assist - he could have scored a solo effort and been top himself!!

I’m not too sure that Sir Stanley, amazing as he was, was still playing in the top division at the age of 73 years and 57 days.

Your maths is correct of course - he retired aged 50 [what a light-weight]. But he enjoyed a smoke and that should be factored into the stats somehow ). Lovely advert link here...

You could well be right that an older combo will have produced a goal in the pre Premier League era but I'm not sure full stats were kept on assists back then in the same way they are these days.
