Martin’s Starting Stats
I was at the North London Derby on Saturday. Arsenal did the Premier League double over Tottenham last season, but missed the chance to become the first of the two rivals to make it three in a row in the Premier League. That has still never happened. The last time Arsenal did it in league football was March 1987 to January 1989.
Tottenham went 1-0 up and missed the chance to record their 50th league win over Arsenal. It was the 155th league derby and the 42nd draw. Arsenal have 64 wins to Spurs’ 49.
The two goals took the total number scored in Premier League derbies between the clubs to 128. Only Liverpool v Newcastle (129) and Liverpool v Tottenham (129) have seen more goals.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored his 10th goal for Arsenal (all competitions), but all of his nine previous goals came in home wins.
Calum Chambers has had four Premier League starts for Arsenal and has been booked in each one. If he gets another soon then he will get a very speedy suspension.
Aaron Ramsey was Arsenal's only outfield ever-present in the Premier League after five games but picked up an injury and is likely to lose that record against Chelsea.
Finally, Ryan Mason made his Tottenham debut in 2008, but only made his Premier League debut in 2014. That’s a reward for patience!
Rooney’s reds
After MUFC's game this weekend is this the 1st time Rooney has been sent off in a game and his team has still gone on to win it? David Oduro
MARTIN SAYS: Thanks to the boffins at Opta I can tell you that yes, this is the first time Wayne Rooney has seen red and his team has gone on to win. He has been sent off five times previously in his career, but technically his team only lost one of those fixtures with the other four being classed as draws.
Here are the details of Wayne Rooney’s six career red cards:
27/09/2014 Manchester United v West Ham: As most readers will know, Rooney was sent off in the 59th minute last Saturday with Manchester United 2-1 up and they held on to win 2-1.
07/10/2011 Montenegro v England: Rooney’s second international red card came in a Euro 2012 qualifier in Montenegro. He was dismissed in the 73rd minute with England 2-1 up and a last-minute Andrija Delibasic goal meant it finished 2-2. I was there that night.
21/03/2009 Fulham v Manchester United: Rooney’s previous Premier League red card came in a 2-0 defeat at Fulham. Paul Scholes was sent off in the 18th minute and Fulham were already winning 2-0 when Rooney saw red in the 89th minute.
01/07/2006 England v Portugal: Perh
