Tottenham the most Dirtiest during the Premier League & have committed most fouls in Premier League this season

Tottenham have committed the most fouls in the Premier League so far this season, just ahead of Manchester United.

Mauricio Pochettino’s high-flying side look hugely improved this term, and are firmly in the title race as they sit five points behind leaders Leicester City.

Stats from the Daily Mirror have now revealed that Spurs have made 312 fouls this season, which suggests their new-found nasty streak could be playing some part in their rise up the table.

Most fouls in the Premier League 2015/16
Tottenham                       312

Manchester United,         310

Crystal Palace                 310

Aston Villa                       305

Watford                           284

Chelsea                            283

Often viewed as a soft touch in the past, Tottenham now boast the best defensive record in the league, and are clearly a side who enjoy a scrap.

As well as being the team to commit the most fouls, the north Londoners also have the player to have the most fouls given against him in Erik Lamela.
