Nottingham Forest plummet, shock team in top five and Man Utd boost – how Premier League table would look without errors
MANCHESTER UNITED surge up the table and Nottingham Forest fall in the error-free Premier League.
Goalkeepers and defenders wish their mistakes leading to goals could be forgotten about.

And number crunchers at AceOdds.com have made that possible by wiping all strikes from existence that came from individual direct errors.
A total of 186 howlers have been erased and it changed the results of 65 matches across the season.
Brighton are the biggest climbers and rise up the league to fifth to earn a Champions League spot.
The Seagulls would have five points more as their No1 Bart Verbruggen made more blunders (five) leading to goals than anyone else.
Manchester United and Southampton are the other big movers up the table.
Ruben Amorim's side shot themselves in the foot far too often and it cost them eight points.
United would have finished in 13th place without mistakes.
And it is a similar story for Southampton, who threw away 11 points due to individual errors.

The boost would have even been enough to see them come 19th and Ipswich bottom instead.
Nottingham Forest were in the hunt for Champions League qualification until the final day before eventually settling for a Conference League spot.

They punished opponents' mistakes better than any other side in the division.
Taking away those goals would have seen Forest plummet four places to 11th and record 13 points less.
Similarly, Arsenal picked up eight extra points from rivals' defensive errors.
Without them, Mikel Arteta's side would have come behind Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea.
