The BEST SUBSTITUTES of the Premier League

A few days ago, IFFHS announced that Alexander Sorloth became the football player who scored the most goals in La Liga history by coming on as a substitute in one season.

Idman.biz has conducted a study on the most productive substitutes of the Misli Premier League this season.

A total of 377 goals were scored in 155 games of 31 rounds in the remaining part of the championship. Excluding eight own goals, 369 balls passed through the opponents' goals.

58 of these goals were scored by those who came on as substitutes. This is 15.7 percent of the total balls.

All Premier League clubs celebrated the goals of those who came on as substitutes. There is a clear leader in this indicator - "Qarabag".

The football players released by Gurban Gurbanov scored no more and no less than 19 goals. This is almost 1/3 of the total goals of the substitutes. "Zira", which is second, lags behind by about 3 times.

"Qarabag" - 19

7-8. "Sabah" – 3
"Sumgayit" - 3

This season, 45 football players justified the decision of the head coach by entering the field later. 11 players of "Qarabag" stood out in this regard. 6 substitutes in "Turan Tovuz" found their way to the opponent's goal.

Qarabag's Cape Verdean midfielder has distinguished himself 4 times by entering the game later. His teammates Aleksey Kashuk and Abdullah Zubir did it 3 times each, and Redon Jica did it 2 times.

David Volkov, one of Zira's goal hopes, and Bernardo Dias from Araz-Nakhchivan also distinguished themselves in three games. Filip Ozobic scored two of his goals for Neftchi after coming on as a substitute.
