Remember all the fuss when Virgil van Dijk hadn’t been dribbled past for 16 years, or something? We took a look at which defenders this season have been dribbled past the least.
Any player must have made a minimum of 20 appearances to qualify…
0 – No opposition player has completed a dribble past Virgil van Dijk in any of his 36 PL apps this season. In fact, this run stretches back to last March, meaning he hasn’t been dribbled past by an opponent in any of his last 45 PL apps. Immovable. #PFAAwards #POTY pic.twitter.com/Y8BIsle0vq
