James Collins made more clearances versus Liverpool than any other player has in a Premier League game this season.

The Ginger Pele managed a magnificent 23 clearances, won 4 aerial duels, made 3 blocks and won 2 tackles in the historic two nil win over Liverpool last weekend, which completed the league double this season.

The impressive statistics come on the back of his Southampton game where Ginge won possession 7 times, blocked 2 shots and made 13 clearances.

Collins is clearly in the form of his life after signing a two year extension worth around £3 million to him over the length of his new deal.  Collins – who has now been at the club for nearly seven years in two spells has lifted himself from fourth choice to first choice centre back. His deal works out at around £29,000 a week and is likely to keep him at the club until the end, or close to the end, of his playing career.
