R. Sterling made his league debut at 17 but at 29 finds himself out-of-favour at club and int level. Given the number of minutes he's played, is he actually 'older' than 29 in football terms? Yes...

🔵Brighton have spent ~€200m 💶 this window, only Chelsea have spent more so far in the Premier League. However, they've tended to pay their players fairly ⚖️ and been able to extract more 📈 value for money than most other Premier League sides relative to their wage spending.

A 29th minute red card like the one last night dents a teams win probability by about 18% on average. Barcelona were winning the tie 4-2 at that point. Even if Barcola scored, the impact would’ve been less than that of playing with 10 for at least 60 minutes.
