A remarkable statistic, highlighting the extent of the brilliant campaign being enjoyed by high-flying Girona, has come to the fore late on Sunday.
Girona, for their part, marked the club’s return to action a short time ago.
In the knowledge that a victory would see them leapfrog Real Madrid back to the summit of the La Liga table, Míchel’s troops welcomed struggling Sevilla to the Estadi Montilivi.
And, when all was said and done, reclaim league leading status is precisely what the evening’s hosts managed.
This came courtesy of a scintillating display, which saw Artem Dovbyk’s hat-trick added to by Viktor Tsyhankov and Cristhian Stuani, en route to an eventual 5-1 result.
As alluded to above, such efforts on the part of Girona’s stars have not only been aptly highlighted by their collective position as a team, though.
In addition, they have too shone through on an individual basis, by way of the Spanish top-flight’s top scorer and assist charts.
As revealed by ESPN, hat-trick hero Dovbyk has now joined Jude Bellingham as the leader in the former (14), with teammate Sávio having managed more assists than any other La Liga player this season, too (7).
