Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez enjoyed a dominant display in the air for victory at Southampton on Saturday.
Lisandro has drawn criticism as a centre-half in England due to his 1.75m stature.
However, the Argentine was excellent for the 1-0 win and stats this season show the criticism is off the mark. Lisandro has won 83 percent of his aerial duels in the three Premier League matches in which he has played thus far.
Lisandro Martinez’s aerial win percentage compared to other Premier League centre-backs:
Lisandro Martinez - 83%
Kalidou Koulibaly - 75%
William Saliba - 57%
Joe Gomez - 56%
Ruben Dias - 36%
