Newcastle 2014-15 Season Review - 20 Stats From The Campaign

7. 12 - Defensive Errors Made That Directly Led To A Goal, The Joint-Second-Highest In The Premier League

Newcastle not only made the joint-second-highest number of defensive mistakes in the Premier League with 30 (alongside Liverpool, only bettered by Everton's 35) - they were also joint-second-highest for the number of defensive mistakes that directly led to goals. Their total of 12 - which includes mistakes such as Tim Krul's botched clearance away at Queens Park Rangers that allowed Leroy Fer to smash a 30-yarder into the top corner - was level with Crystal Palace's, and just three shy of Everton's.
