Match-Winner Joao Pedro's Hilarious Stat During Brighton's Win Vs Manchester United
Joao Pedro had a memorable outing at the American Express Stadium as his winner helped Brighton and Hove Albion maikntain their dominance over Manchester United in the league from past couple of seasons. But this one particular stat will sound baffling to many football fans, as Joao Pedro was amongst the players who played the entire 90 minutes + added time of the game, but the 22-year old had least amount of touches on ball.
The Brazilian is one of the star players of the side, and had a memorable 2023/24 campaign, where he registered 9 goals and 3 assists in 31 Premier League games.
