The plethora of goals from the various teams is nothing short of spectacular, and in this article, we will look at the top six teams with the most scored goals in the Premier League.
With so many well-versed teams in the league, reaching this title is a win in and of itself.
6. Manchester City: 1,627 Goals
Manchester City has dominated the Premier League in the last few years with the most goals scored in the 17/18 season with a staggering 106 goals. That was not only a record for the club but also saw them taking the title that year.
The club’s top goal scorer that season was Sergio Aguero, who scored a total of 21 goals; he was also the top goal scorer for five seasons in a row.
Even though they are only sitting in sixth place, it’s only a matter of time before they climb the rankings with the consistency they are playing with at the moment.
5. Tottenham Hotspur: 1,720 Goals
If you look at the history of Tottenham Hotspurs, you’d also question why they haven’t won a title yet. This team has climbed the rank over the years with consistent growth since the Premier League started.
Spurs’ best year in terms of goals scored was the 16/17 season when they scored 86 goals altogether, which saw them finishing in second place that year. That was also their highest League finish to date.
That shouldn’t come as a surprise, seeing as they had Harry Kane, who scored 29 goals that season and became the club’s top goal scorer for seven Premier Leagues in a row.
4. Chelsea FC: 1,954 Goals
Chelsea has seen a lot of success in the last 20 years, winning multiple titles along the way, but it was their 09/10 season that stands out from the rest when they not only won the title that season but scored an unbelievable 103 goals.
The legend himself, Didier Drogba, was the top goal scorer for that season, standing at 29 goals.
3. Arsenal: 2,000 Goals
Even though Arsenal haven’t seen much success as of late, their previous seasons have seen them reaching the number one spot on numerous occasions. Altogether they’ve won the league three times which makes them deserve their third place on the list.
Their best season was in 04/05, when they scored 87 goals, but unfortunately, they only received second place.
The number of goals is still impressive, and their top scorer for that season was the legend, Thierry Henry, with 25 goals to his name.
2. Liverpool: 2,002 Goals
Liverpool has been showing up to the pitch for the last 30 years but only recently took home the victory, in the 19/20 season. However, this was not the year they scored the most goals; that was in the 13/14 season, where they marked up 101 goals.
Unfortunately, they ended up in second place behind Manchester City that season.
Their top goal scorer for that season was none other than Luis Suarez, who raked in 31 goals.
1. Manchester United: 2,176 Goals
So, we all know Manchester United haven’t been themselves over the last couple of years, but with 13 Premier League wins behind them, they more than deserve the number one spot.
There might be a chance for other clubs to reach the total number of goals scored by Manchester United, but only time will tell how long that will take.
With all their success, the best season they had was the ‘99/00 season which saw them scoring 97 goals and winning the league. The top goal scorer for that season was another legend, Wayne Rooney, scoring 26 goals for the club.
