How Lucas kept the ball on the floor

10th Dec 2012 - Latest News

Opta stats from Liverpool's thrilling 3-2 win over West Ham show how Lucas Leiva dominated in the distribution stakes.

The Brazilian played 69 passes, which was more than any other player on the park and recorded the best distribution accuracy of any Liverpool player, with a 91.3 per cent completion rate.

Playing in only his second game since returning from a three-month absence, the midfielder was instrumental in keeping possession and distributing the play along the floor - just 1.4 per cent of his attempted passes went long.

Below are the complete player stats from the weekend's win.
