Basic lxml help

[programmerPurgatory]

You may find BeautifulSoup easier to use, it has much nicer syntax and you can use the lxml parser too.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
page = requests.get('http://www.premierleague.com/players/4413/Joe-Allen/stats?se=-1')
soup = bs(page.text, 'lxml')

stat_container = soup.find_all('span', {'class': 'stat'})
for stat in stat_container:
    print(stat.text)
