Solutions

1:C - City did not look themselves at the end of the year – they were even below Everton – but 15 straight wins soon put an end to their struggles., 2:D - Leicester were second. Oh, Leicester., 3:C - Sheffield United picked up just two points in their first 17 games of the season., 4:B - They were both sponsored by Cazoo, the used car website., 5:D - Cole did it in the 1993-94 season, when he scored 34 goals and set up 13 more for newly promoted Newcastle., 6:B - Somehow Chelsea finished in the top four with a top scorer, Jorginho, who only scored seven goals, all of which were from the spot., 7:D - They lost 7-2 to Aston Villa in October and beat Crystal Palace 7-0 in December., 8:D - Son scored four goals in Tottenham’s 5-2 win at Southampton. Harry Kane was the man of the match, though., 9:C - Kelechi Iheanacho made the most of Leicester’s unusual kick-off times, becoming the first player to score a goal on all seven days of the week in a Premier League season., 10:D - Peter Crouch had held the record previously., 11:D - There’s more.
