4 - Aerial Duels Won Individually By Both Mitrovic And Mbemba
The top aerial-duel winner on Saturday was actually Manchester United's Chris Smalling with six, but Aleksandar Mitrovic and Chancel Mbemba certainly put themselves about in the air as well. Both players won four aerial duels apiece, with all of Mbemba's being defensive ones, while three of Mitrovic's were offensive and one was also an important clearance at the back. Mitrovic and Mbemba may have only arrived at the club this summer, but the former Anderlecht teammates are already contributing greatly to the NUFC cause.
