16 - Derensili Sanches Fernandes is the first Huddersfield Town player to net a brace within the opening 16 minutes of a league match since Harry Bunn v Blackpool in October 2014. Electric. #OptaOnEFL

No one comes close to the injuries we've had over the last 3 years. It's absolutely crazy.

This is a real shame. I used to love that Arrigo Sacchi AC Milan team as a kid. Baresi was absolutely class.

Some sad news to bring you. AC Milan and Italy legend Franco Baresi has died aged 66. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

66 - Only two players had more successful take-ons in the Eredivisie in 2025-26 than 🇳🇱 Derensili Sanches Fernandes (66). ⚽️ In the last two months of the season, only PSV's Ricardo Pepi (6) scored more Eredivisie goals than Fernandes (4). Exciting.
