2016-17 in numbers - new defensive records

The total of 26 goals conceded on our way to second place in the Premier League is six better than the previous best of 32 set in the old Second Division in 1908-09 - our first in the Football League - and 1919-20.

It's also seven goals better than the previous best in a top flight campaign (the old First Division and Premier League) of 33 set in the old First Division in 1970-71.

As well as the overall goals conceded stat, the team also set a new best in terms of goals conceded at home in a league season.
