Teaser: Before Darren Bent, who was the last player to score against all of the Big Four clubs in one season?
By scoring against Arsenal on Saturday, Darren Bent added to goals this term against Chelsea, Liverpool (via a big red beach ball) and Man Utd. And it’s not even Christmas. Most. Impressive. Sadly, I can’t put him in my fantasy football team, because as soon as I do, he’ll stop scoring. That’s a fact.
But Pies wants to know, before Bent who was the last striker – and it was a striker – to score against the so-called Big Four in one season?
Clue: the player in question did it less than ten years ago.
ANSWER: Michael Ricketts, in 2001-02
