Cesar Azpilicueta breaks records in the Man City game

Cesar Azpilicueta has set the new high mark for tackles in a game in the Premier League this season.

The defender racked up an insane THIRTEEN in the game against Man City.

To put that in perspective, David Luiz had a superb game and only made 2.

You can see the graphic with the full stats from this season above.

It was part of an all round superb showing from Azpi, who contained Leroy Sane totally in the first half and Raheem Sterling completely in the second.

One effort was particularly memorable, as the Spaniard was briefly beaten by Sane, only to turn and force his way back goalside before knocking the ball out.

He has had perhaps his worst season since joining Chelsea this year, so it’s delightful to see Azpi back playing at his best again. Let’s hope this exceptional showing puts him on a springboard to further good performances.
