Following the opening day of the Premier League season, Newcastle United's Allan Saint-Maximin tops the table for the most progressive yards carried, subsequent to his excellent showing against Nottingham Forest.

The Toon's number ten was a constant threat throughout, creating chances and driving forward from midfield, with Forest defender Neco Williams having a torrid afternoon against the Frenchman.

And the 25-year-old managed to carry the ball a total of 386 yards in progressive positions during the 90 minutes, almost 100 yards more than the next player on that chart, Aston Villa's Matty Cash.
