Bundesliga Statistics: Week Three

A belated welcome to the third edition of Bundesliga Statistics, covering matchday three. As you may have noticed this post has been a long time in the making. I have returned from my unannounced vacation, so have no fear, timely updates will reappear. “But Mark,” you may begin to ask, “why did you choose this week and not the next, you know, when all those internationals take place?” Or perhaps even you’re wondering, “how is it possible to take a vacation from something that isn’t even a job?” Both good questions that must, for now, go unanswered as we crunch the previous week’s numbers. As you’ll notice I’ve (yet again) introduced a new layout for the statistics. Once I land upon something satisfactory I promise I’ll stop.
