Joselu has won 51 duels and this is the second highest number of duels won by a player in the league this season, and he remains a crucial player for Espanyol going forward.

When it comes to efficiency, Girona's centre-back Santiago Bueno stands out as the man you *don't* want to face. https://t.co/ULEiOpJTdU
