Man City midfielder Rodri breaks Premier League passing record

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has broken a record in the Premier League for passing.

The Spanish star, who arrived from Atletico Madrid in the summer, managed 178 passes against West Ham United on Wednesday night.

City won the game 2-0 and Rodri managed 178 of his 188 passing attempts during the match.

What is even more remarkable is that he managed more passes on his own as compared to the whole West Ham team.

They only managed 169 passes in the contest.

It was a comfortable home win for City, while West Ham still sit in the relegation zone.
