Who holds the record of having scored the quickest goal in Premier League history?

On Friday, the Athletic reporter stated that the defensive midfielder had not been booked in his last ten appearances, his longest run without a yellow card since 2016 (per Tim Spiers), which had supporters discussing the 29-year-old.

Has Romain Saiss been lucky to escape a booking in his previous ten outings?

Yes, been a few close calls

Since signing for the Old Gold on an undisclosed fee from Angers in 2016 (per BBC), Saiss has featured in 132 games for Wolves, during which he has picked up 40 yellow cards and one red card (per Transfermarkt).

Following Tim Spiers’ tweet, however, some supporters could not help but air their admiration for the 29-year-old Moroccan.

What do we think?

Despite swerving a yellow card in his last ten outings for Wolves, Saiss has committed the second-most fouls of any Wolves player in the Premier League this term, with 1.4 a game on average (per WhoScored).

In terms of an average rating, he has been the eighth-best in the Wolves squad with a 6.83/10 average rating (per WhoScored), justifying supporters’ delight with the Moroccan.
