Everton goalkeeper Joel Robles is the 50th shot-stopper to assist a Premier League goal

As Kevin Mirallas wheeled away at the King Power Stadium after putting Everton ahead against Leicester, Joel Robles, stood at the other end of the pitch, had just as much reason to celebrate.

The Spaniard had just laid on his first goal for the Toffees after his long ball was seized upon by the Belgian, who raced through to slot beyond Kasper Schmeichel to set Ronald Koeman’s men on their way to a 2-0 win.

In doing so, he became the 50th goalkeeper to assist a goal in the Premier League.

Robles is in esteemed company on the list of shot-stoppers turned providers, but he still has some way to go in matching the man at the top.
