Well it's just referring to Lingard's goal stats for the season, probably pulled from some other stats site. He does have six goals, it just happens that none of them are for us yet.

Yep, I see Dale Stephens has chipped in with three, too. They just carry them across from whichever club they came from. Quite common.

But never mind all that, the top story on that page is about a 20mph zone in Brighton and Hove :dunce:

Ha !

I've emailed the editor of BBC sport to ask about the 20mile and hour story appearing in the Albion index . I'll report back here.
This is pretty rare. . I look at this page a lot and i think this is the first time a news story has appeared in the index with no ref to the Albion although to be fair its about Brighton of course.

The other oops are fair enough i think and due to the BBC suppliers. The goal stats/appearances are in line with most other sites and there is a disclaimer saying its from "all games"
the picture isn't exactly an error. Orlandi and SD did play in the match and SD was the scorer. Again it must be down to the supplier Getty. Also pretty rare as i'd say nearly every match report bar a couple this season has featured as the top picture an appropriate pic from the match itself.

I emailed the editor. Its now removed. Its automated to aggregate all Albion stories but clearly went a bit wrong there.

I worked at the Beeb and kind of involved with setting up all this aggregation stuff.

Its a good idea, rather than some bored editor adding pages to an index manually it all happens automagically. Always going to be some oddness slips through the net though!
