BERNARDO SILVA boasts the best Premier League record in the last year.
Since the first lockdown came into force, the Portuguese star, 26, has won a staggering 22 of the 25 top-flight games in which he’s played.
That 88 per cent win-rate is far and away the best in the Premier League – and also the third best in ALL of Europe, not just the ‘Big Five’ leagues, according to CIES Football Observatory.
Of stars to have played at least 20 times since last March, only Red Star Belgrade ace Milan Gajic and Bayern Munich whiz Serge Gnabry boast better records.
Gajic has emerged victorious in a staggering 21 of his 22 league games, a win-rate of 95 per cent.
Ex-Arsenal winger Gnabry has won 21 of his 23 games for Bayern for a 91 per cent return.
Bernardo comes in third with an 88 per cent win-rate since this time last year.
AC Milan star Alexis Saelemaekers (78 per cent) and Real Madrid stalwart Casemiro (77 per cent) complete the top five.
But spare a thought for poor Schalke flop Bastian Oczipka.
The German has failed to win ANY of his 23 league games – the only player in all of Europe to have gone without a victory in the last year.
