Comments:

Final league position 2019-20: 5th With 23 goals, Jamie Vardy became the second Leicester City player to be the leading scorer in a completed top division season (after Gary Lineker in 1984-85) and the oldest player to finish as the leading scorer in a top division season since Arsenal's Ronnie Rooke in 1947-48. The Foxes took nine points from nine games since the Premier League restarted in June, compared to 53 from their opening 29 games. Excluding Play-offs, City had now lost two of their last 13 final league games of a season (won seven).

Comments:

Final league position 2019-20: 3rd Manchester United finished the season with 66 points. The only team to finish in 3rd position in a Premier League season with fewer points was Liverpool in 1997-98 (65 points). United’s penalty was their 14th spot-kick in this Premier League season; the most that any team had even been awarded in a season in the competition. Harry Maguire became the first outfield player since Gary Pallister in 1994-95 to start every game in a Premier League season for the Red Devils.
