Man City winger Riyad Mahrez no fan of match statistics

Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez insists he's no fan of match statistics.

Mahrez says gameday data doesn't always tell the story of a performance.

He told France Football: "If you make a very good match without being decisive, it will weigh on your performance.

"While if you make average matches with good stats, they will say that you are a very good player..."

Mahrez also said, "I know myself, when I play matches, I can score a lot of goals, make assists and be at the top."
