It is not at all surprising that the most fouled footballers are also some of the most talented
Eden Hazard is officially the most fouled player in the English top flight. The in-form Chelsea midfielder has drawn 74 fouls from opposing players this season. Meanwhile, Liverpool young gun Raheem Sterling took second spot drawing 60 fouls so far this campaign.
Everton sharpshooter Stephen Naismith pips Arsenal’s talismanic striker Alexis Sanchez to third place. The Scottish forward has had 52 fouls committed against him this season which trumps Sanchez’s 47.
Sanchez’s club mate Santi Cazorla also makes the top 13, who along with Southampton winger Sadio Mane and Sunderland striker Conor Wickham have been fouled 41 times. However, none of them came close to beating Hazard who can now claim the title of the best drawer of fouls in the league. What a great honour.
