Premier League penalty kings: YOUR club's top spot-kick takers revealed

Junior Stanislas and Ashley Barnes are the Premier League penalty kings.

The Bournemouth and Burnley stars are the only top flight players to take four or more spot kicks for their current club in the top flight and score them all.

Interestingly, clubs whose penalty king is a defender or midfielder appear to generally have more joy than those who have a striker.

But Paul Pogba bucks that trend - only scoring five out of his eight spot kicks for a 62.5 per cent conversion rate.

His slow-paced run up gained headlines earlier this year - but his record suggests it might not be the most successful strategy.

Manchester City's Sergio Aguero is one of the most feared strikers from the spot, netting 24 of his 28 Premier League penalties.

Troy Deeney has a similar record for Watford : 13 goals from 16 taken.

A total of 93 penalties have been given in this year's Premier League season - already 10 more than were given throughout the whole of the year before.

In total, 72 of those 93 have been scored, with Crystal Palace ’s Luka Milivojevic on top of the leaderboard with 8 conversions.

Cardiff ’s Neil Etheridge and Everton ’s Jordan Pickford are the keepers that outfielders do not want to come up against, both made a total of three saves from the spot this campaign.

Alan Shearer, the Premier League all time top goalscorer, also holds the most goals from the penalty spot with 54.
