Premier League Sets New Record For Most Goals In Season

Record-breaking season with 1092 goals scored in 335 games.

The Premier League witnessed a historic moment on Wednesday night as the record for most goals scored in a 20-team season was shattered. The previous record of 1084 goals, set last season, was surpassed when Harry Maguire's equalizer against Sheffield United pushed this season's total past that milestone.

Following Wednesday's matches, a total of 1092 goals have been scored in 335 games this season, with 45 games still remaining. The average goals per game for this season stand at an impressive 3.26. If this scoring rate is maintained, the season is on track to see a total of 1329 goals by its conclusion in May.

Arsenal has emerged as the highest-scoring team in the league this season, finding the back of the net 82 times. On the other end of the spectrum, Sheffield United, currently at the bottom of the table, has conceded the most goals, with a total of 92 against them.

In the race for the Golden Boot, Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Chelsea's Cole Palmer are currently tied with 20 goals each, showcasing their prowess in front of goal.
