The eighth gameweek of the Premier League, the last before the international break, saw a three way tie at the top of the table after Chelsea beat Southampton 3-0 at St.Mary’s and Liverpool and Manchester City played out a goalless draw. The Blues, the Reds and the Citizens all have 20 points after 8 games, but Jurgen Klopp’s side have slipped to third on goal difference.

Chelsea summer signing Jorginho created a new Premier League record when the Blues took on West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The former Napoli star made 180 passes- a record for most passes made in a league game since records were started to be kept back in 2003/04.

To put that figure in perspective, ten teams have made less than 180 passes in a full Premier League game as on date. Jorginho’s 180 effectively meant a pass every 30 seconds. The Chelsea player with the next highest number of passes in the game against the Hammers was defender Antonio Rudiger with 86.
