Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. On the opening weekend of the Premier League, which "big club" did mid-table West Ham United upset 2-0?

Answer: Arsenal

Cheikhou Kouyate and Mauro Zarate both scored to give West Ham 3 points against their fellow London club. This was the Hammers revenge after Arsenal had outplayed them 3-0 in their previous encounter in the previous season, in March 2015.

2. Aston Villa won their opening match 1-0 against Bournemouth. But how many more games did it take them to record their second win of the season?

Answer: 19

Aston Villa didn't record another win until January 2016, Aston Villa v Crystal Palace 1-0. In between these wins, Villa lost a whopping 14 games and drew 5.

3. In October 2015, Arsenal and Manchester United had a highly anticipated clash at the Emirates. What was the final score?

Answer: 3-0 to Arsenal

Alexis Sanchez scored twice and Mesut Ozil once to give Arsenal the 3 points, with all the goals scored in the first 20 minutes. In their previous match, Arsenal had thrashed Leicester City 5-2 and in their next match they beat Watford 3-0.

4. How many goals were scored in the two Manchester derbies in total?

Answer: 1

The first derby finished in a dull 0-0 draw at Old Trafford. The second one was just as dull with both teams together recorded just 7 shots on target, with United stealing a 1-0 win through Marcus Rashford.

5. Who was the only player to score 5 goals in a single match in the 2015-16 Premier League season?

Answer: Sergio Aguero

Aguero scored his 5 goals against Newcastle in a 6-1 win. Wijnaldum almost equalled Aguero's feat but fell short at 4 goals in a single game for, coincidentally, Newcastle United (who beat Norwich City 6-2).

6. Who scored the last goal of the season when Manchester United played Bournemouth on 17th May 2016?

Answer: Chris Smalling

Smalling, playing for Manchester United, scored an own goal in injury time. His mistake didn't matter, as Manchester United eventually won 3-1.

7. Jamie Vardy (Leicester City) was the top goal scorer in the 2015-16 Premier League season.

Answer: False

Going into May and each team's final three matches, Vardy, Kane and Aguero had scored 22, 23 and 24 goals respectively. Vardy managed a brace against Everton but it wasn't enough to snatch the Golden Boot from Kane.

8. Leicester City won the league, but which three teams finished in the top 4 and also qualified for the Champions League?

Answer: Arsenal, Tottenham Hotpsur, Manchester City

Manchester United and West Ham finished 5th and 7th respectively.

Answer: 17

Finishing bottom of the league, Aston Villa recorded half the amount of points that the 19th placed team di (Norwich City). A proud club, Aston Villa were ranked 7th in the all-time Premier League table and are one of only 5 English clubs to win the European Cup (now the Champions League).
