Defensive duo Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk produced 34 clearances between them and combined to win 15 headers.
That is according to stats-based website whoscored.com.
Dunk is credited with seven wins in headed duels and 15 clearances while Duffy won eight contests in the air and cleared 19 times.
Duffy’s headers would have included an assist had Jose Izquierdo’s shot gone straight in rather than being touched home by Beram Kayal.
That domination by the big two played a part in a stunning stat for Matt Ritchie. The Toon wideman attempted 13 crosses, of which just one found a colleague.
