The 5 Worst Finishers In The Premier League This Season
Statistics can and will be used to deceive you.

However, I could conversely tell you that Lukaku has missed 14 big chances this season, joint-fifth most in the division, and he’s one of the worst finishers in the Premier League.

Everton Investigating Video Showing Jordan Pickford Getting Into A Bar Fight
Jordan Pickford has had his fair share of the limelight lately, and maybe not for the best reasons. The England goalkeeper made himself an annoyance against Newcastle, goading the Newcastle fans after Everton’s second goal.
