Tweet @SkyFootball using the hashtag #TylersTeasersMartins starting statI was at Liverpool v Tottenham on Saturday to see Philippe Coutinho score his 10th goal of the season and his seventh in the Premier League - but only his second at Anfield. The other was at home to Crystal Palace in November.Harry Kane became Spurs top scorer in a Premier League season with his 22nd goal. The last Spurs player to score more than 21 league goals in one season was Gary Lineker in 1991/92 with 28 goals.Kane became the first Spurs player to score 20+ league goals in successive seasons since Martin Chivers from 1970-72. He is only the fifth Englishman to do it in successive seasons after Alan Shearer, Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand and Andy Cole.Saturday was Liverpools 50th game of the season. They have played four periods of extra-time and three penalty shoot-outs and will reach at least 60 games this year.Spurs dont often win at Anfield. They have only won twice in the Premier League era (a 2-1 win in 1993 and a 2-0 win in 2011). Danny Rose is the only current Spurs player to have won with Spurs at Anfield. Hugo Lloris has done it with Lyon and Moussa Dembele did it with Fulham.Early knockout Aston Villa supporters hold protesting banners Whats the earliest a club has been relegated from the Premier League? (Keith, Solihull)MARTIN SAYS: I have a suspicion you may be an Aston Villa fan, Keith!As Im sure youre aware, defeat at home to Chelsea on Saturday left Villa hanging onto their top-flight status by their fingertips. Indeed, their fate can be sealed this coming Saturday if Norwich, who travel to Crystal Palace, better Villas result at home to Bournemouth.If results transpired against Villa, relegation could be confirmed on April 9. In terms of the date in the calendar, it would be the third-earliest relegation in Premier League history. Only two sides, Derby (March 29, 2008) and Leicester (April 6, 2002), will have dropped into the second tier of English football sooner.Earliest relegations (date)Derby - 29/03/08 (32 games)Leicester - 06/04/02 (34 games)Portsmouth - 10/04/10 (33 games)Sunderland - 12/04/03 (33 games)Sunderland - 14/04/06 (33 games)If Villa are relegated on Saturday it would come after 33 matches. Only one side, Derby in 2008, has been relegated after fewer matches.Earliest relegations (number of games)Derby (2007/08) - 32 gamesPortsmouth (2009/10) - 33 gamesSunderland (2002/03) - 33 gamesSunderland (2005/06) - 33 gamesLeicester (2001/02) - 34 gamesWest Brom (2002/03) - 34 games1-0 to the champions Leicester favour a 1-0 scoreline of late Who has recorded the most 1-0 wins in a Premier League season? Who has the most in a row? Is it Leicester? (James, High Wycombe)MARTIN SAYS: League leaders Leicester are currently on a four game 1-0 winning streak - a feat only achieved three times previously in Premier League history.Liverpool won their last game of the 2012/13 season 1-0 against QPR and then opened the 2013/14 season with 1-0 wins over Stoke, Aston Villa and Man Utd. That season they famously went on to finish second in the Premier League.Arsenal also won four straight games 1-0 in March 1998 (against Wimbledon. Manchester United, Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton) - and they went on to win the title that year.However, the record is held by Everton who won FIVE games by a 1-0 scoreline in October/November 2002 when they beat West Ham, Leeds, Charlton, Blackburn and West Brom. They finished seventh that season.Leicester can equal that record against Sunderland on Super Sunday and potentially break it against West Ham the following weekend.Leicester have won seven games 1-0 this season, but Chelsea have the record for the most 1-0 wins (11) in a single season recorded in 2005 - the same year they won the Premier League trophy.Chelsea (2003/04), Everton, Liverpool (both 2005/06) and Manchester United (2008/09) have all recorded 10 1-0 wins in a season, but of that group only Manchester United went on to win the league.Free-kick kings Dimitri Payet curls another stunning free-kick Could Payet get the record for the most direct free-kicks in a PL season? (Nicholas, Wanstead)MARTIN SAYS: Dimitri Payet may have scored another stunner of a free-kick against Crystal Palace over the weekend but he still hasnt made the top 10 scorers of direct free-kicks in a season.He has in fact only scored two in the Premier League, with two coming in the FA Cup and one while on international duty for France. There is however still time to add to his tally.The record, perhaps surprisingly, is held by former Newcastle player Laurent Robert, who scored FIVE goals direct from free-kicks in 2001/02. Most direct free-kicks in a season Player Number of free-kicks Season Laurent Robert 5 2001/02 David Beckham 4 2000/01 & 2001/02 Cristiano Ronaldo 4 2007/08 & 2008/09 Gianfranco Zola 4 1998/99 & 2002/03 Ian Harte 4 2000/01 Losing streaks Gabby Agbonlahor and Ashley Westwood of Aston Villa show their frustration after Evertons third goal Villa have lost seven games in a row for the second time this season - whats the longest consecutive losing streak in Premier League history? (Alex, Tamworth)MARTIN SAYS: Aston Villa are indeed once again on a horrendous run of form. They are however a long way off the record set by Sunderland across two seasons.The Black Cats lost 15 games on the bounce as they were relegated in 2002/03 and followed that with five more at the beginning of their next season in the top flight (2005/06).No other club has lost nine Premier League games in a row, but defeat this weekend against Bournemouth - which could see them relegated - will see Villa join a band of 11 clubs with eight consecutive defeats: Charlton, Crystal Palace, Ipswich, Leicester, Man City, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Portsmouth, Reading, Wigan and Wimbledon.Young guns Jonathan Leko (left) made Premier League debut West Broms Jonathan Leko was the first player born in 1999 to play in the PL at the weekend. Who were the previous youngest players? (Christian, Sutton Coldfield)MARTIN SAYS: Jonathan Leko became only the 15th youngest player to make his debut in the Premier League at 16 years, 11 months and nine days. He was 276 days older than Matthew Briggs who made his debut for Fulham against Middlesbrough nearly nine years ago. Youngest PL players Player Age (days) Team Date Matthew Briggs 5912 Fulham 13/05/07 Isaiah Brown 5961 West Brom 04/05/13 Aaron Lennon 5973 Leeds 23/08/03 Jose Baxter 6035 Everton 16/08/08 Rushian Hepburn-Murphy 6042 Aston Villa 14/03/15 The forward is also the first Premier League player to be born in 1999 but there are five who have been born in 1998 and surely it wont be long until we get our first player born after the year 2000.

DeMar DeRozan made sure the Raptors recovered to continue their push for post-season position. The Toronto guard scored 15 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and the Raptors beat the Milwaukee Bucks 102-98 Saturday night to keep pace with the Chicago Bulls for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. "We cant look at a teams record, come in here and think this is going to be a cakewalk," DeRozan said. "That team came out here and played extremely hard. They kind of blindsided us and we had to fight the whole game." After the Raptors gave up 38 points in the paint to trail 56-47 at halftime, coach Dwane Casey lit into his team at halftime. "We let them shoot 58 per cent in the first half and I cant accept that," Casey said. "The first half, we were playing in mud. Standing up straight and it wasnt just the starters. Everybody who was in there." Toronto is tied the Bulls, who beat Washington on Saturday night, at 45-32 with five games to play. Milwaukee fell to an NBA-worst 14-63, guaranteeing the teams worst record in its 45-year history. "We want to win, but I think if we can play this competitive as a team every night, I think there are some better days to come," said Milwaukees John Henson, who had 23 points and nine rebounds in 39 minutes. Greivis Vasquez tied a season-high with 26 points for Toronto, which has won three consecutive games and six of seven. Vasquez, who averages 9.1 points, made up the scoring lost when starting point guard Kyle Lowry missed the game with a bruised left kneecap. "Coach jumped on us (at halftime) and we reacted pretty well," Vasquez said. "In the second half we came to play." DeRozan made six free throws in the final 24 seconds to seal the victory. "We always find ways to fight through," DeRozan said. "We tried to turn up the aggressiveness, especially in the fourth quarter.&quoot; Khris Middleton scored 20 points for Milwaukee, which has lost 13 of 14 games.dddddddddddd Middleton made 6 of 9 shots after a shooting slump in which he made 14 of 41 over the past four games. DeRozan made a pair of free throws to give the Raptors a 98-94 lead with 24 seconds left. Giannis Antetokounmpo then made two free throws to pull Milwaukee within 98-96 with 20 seconds left. DeRozan made two free throws to give Toronto a 100-96 lead with 18.6 seconds to go. Jeff Adrien dunked with 11 seconds left, but DeRozan made two more free throws to cap the scoring. Both teams played short-handed for the second consecutive night. Lowry and starting forward Amir Johnson were out with injuries for Toronto. Milwaukee had only eight players available due to injuries. The Bucks was 1 of 9 from 3-point range while Toronto was 12 of 27. "That is where the difference was," Milwaukee coach Larry Drew said. "If you look at all the other categories, I believe we outscored them in the paint, more assists. A lot of good things we did do, but the 3-point line we did not do a good job defending." There were nine lead changes in the fourth quarter, but Vasquez hit a 3-pointer to give Toronto the lead for good at 86-84 with 5:24 left. DeRozan then hit a free throw and made a 22-foot jumper to give the Raptors an 89-84 lead. The Bucks pulled within 89-88, but DeRozan scored on a driving runner and Jonas Valanciunas converted a 3-point play to give the Raptors a 94-88 lead with 1:43 to go.
