Top five players who struck the woodwork this season revealed

On Monday, Tottenham set an unwanted Premier League record.

Spurs are the only team this season to have now struck the woodwork three times in one game. Mauricio Pochettino's side were - crudely speaking - off target with three efforts in their 1-1 draw with West Brom. They achieved the same dubious feat against Norwich back in February. Those three extra clatters of posts and crossbars brings Tottenham's league total to 18. That is still one off Arsenal's total of 19. West Ham are also on 18 while Everton are on 17. Liverpool round out the top five on 15. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/717051428376805376 When it comes to players who have rattled the woodwork more times than they would care to admit, there are three tied at the top (bottom?). Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Romelu Lukaku have all been denied by the frame of the goal on six occasions. Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez and Ross Barkley of Everton are tied fourth with five misses apiece. In terms of goals to woodwork, Barkley has the worst return - eight goals to five misses. Toffees fans must wonder where their side would have been had Lukaku and Barkley - 11 misses between them - had been more accurate this season.
