An achievement? Not for him. It's the seventh time in his career he has reached this mark in a single season. He has already accomplished it four times with Everton, twice with Lille, and once during his stint at Aston Villa.

Not content with just topping the charts for tackles and duels, Idrissa Gana Gueye has also been involved in more attacking sequences for Everton than any other player this season (80).

He’s also provided more assists (3) under David Moyes than any other Everton player.#EFC pic.twitter.com/AVvtTnZH8U
