11 Surprising Stats From Newcastle 2-2 Southampton
100% - Tackle Success Rate For Papiss Cisse, Moussa Sissoko And Daryl Janmaat
The first two names on this list are certainly not renowned for their defensive prowess, yet Papiss Cisse and Moussa Sissoko joined Daryl Janmaat in achieving a 100% success rate for their attempted tackles against Southampton. Cisse and Janmaat both made two tackles apiece, while Sissoko was successful in his one attempt to rob the Saints of possession. Also surprising is that the player who completed the most tackles in the entire match was Southampton attacking-midfielder Dusan Tadic, with five.
