After a hectic day of Premier League action, we bring you five standout stats from Saturday’s games.

Hernandez is the fox in the box for West Ham
West Ham endured a difficult afternoon on the south-coast, going down 3-1 to Brighton, but Javier Hernandez continued his knack for goal poaching.

Sanchez gets rough treatment from Huddersfield
Alexis Sanchez marked his first Old Trafford appearance with his first goal for Manchester United, dispatching the rebound after his penalty was parried by Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl. The Chilean was difficult for the visitors to handle, as shown by the fact that no player has won more fouls (seven) in a single game this season.
Brunt shows his dead-ball ability again for West Brom

Goals from all angles for Arsenal
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Arsenal career started in style as he found the net in Arsenal’s 5-1 thrashing of Everton at the Emirates Stadium. With his chipped finish over Jordan Pickford, the former Borussia Dortmund man became the 16th player to score in the Premier League this season. No side has more different. goalscorers.
