Stats, eh?

Just before that goal, PSG’s share of possession had risen to 81%. Stats, eh?

(From the football match report.)

What does the interjection "eh" add to the meaning of the question Stats, eh??

It just adds emphasis to the word stats . Without more context and awareness of what stats the speaker is thinking about,it' hard to understand exactly what he is talking about. It may not even be a real question at all, but just a rhetorical question or an exclamation.

'eh' is a tag question.

My best guess:

(Those are good) statistics, aren't they?
