Solutions

1:B - It’s a fine number but slightly unusual as Rui Patrício is a goalkeeper., 2:B - Kohli hit 46% of his team’s runs., 3:B - La Liga clubs are only allowed three non-EU players, so Coutinho has taken citizenship of Portugal through his wife to help Barcelona field all of their South American players. Luis Suárez did the same in 2014 (through his wife, not Coutinho's)., 4:B - The four managers are Mauricio Sarri (Italy) at Chelsea, Unai Emery (Spain) at Arsenal, Marco Silva (Portugal) at Everton and Manuel Pellegrini (Chile) at West Ham., 5:B - The prize money was paid to Thomas Fleetwood, a golf teacher who lives in Florida, rather than Tommy Fleetwood, the man who came second at the US Open earlier this year., 6:B - Tottenham were the only Premier League club who didn’t sign any players at all – not even as much as a loan deal., 7:C - It was a fantastic achievement for Ireland to reach the final, even if they did lose 6-0., 8:B - Pochettino suggested the cost of building Tottenham’s new stadium and training ground had gone up by 30%. “That is a drama too, he said. “I feel sorry for the English people.", 9:A - Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore says it is “inevitable” that VAR will eventually be introduced at some point but the clubs voted against using it this season., 10:D - Lampard won his first match in the Championship as Derby boss; Gerrard’s Rangers team drew with Aberdeen; Barton lost his first League One game as Fleetwood boss; and Bowyer, now caretaker manager at Charlton, lost at Sunderland.
