Jamie Carragher was the best passer on the pitch against West Ham on Sunday with one of the season's highest accuracy rates.

While the only stat in football that really matters is the final score, Carragher's figures make interesting reading.

An impressive 54 of the Scouser's 56 passes found their man - and the 35-year-old played a higher percentage of long passes than his fellow defenders too (12.5 per cent).

Carragher's overall accuracy of 96.4 per cent was the sixth highest in the Barclays Premier League this weekend behind Papiss Cisse (100 per cent), Steven Taylor (97.62), Antolin Alcaraz (97.44), Arouna Kone (97.14) and Steven Caulker (97.14).

However, Carragher played significantly more passes than any of these players.

And Opta stats show Sunday's game was not a one off - with our No.23 dropping below 85 per cent only once in his 10 full Barclays Premier League games this term.
