11 Surprising Stats From Newcastle 2-2 Southampton
0 - Number Of Successful Tackles For Vurnon Anita
Unfortunately for Vurnon Anita he was forced off the field on a stretcher in the 68th minute and was replaced by Cheick Tiote. Thankfully, it looks like the lower-back injury the Dutch midfielder sustained was not serious and he could even be back in contention for the Magpies' trip to Swansea City this weekend. A stat that Anita will not want to see, however, is that he failed to successfully complete a single tackle against Southampton. In fact, his only two attempts to do so both brought fouls.
