The 2023-2024 Premier League will go down in history as the edition in which the most goals were scored. In the end, there were 1,246 goals scored among the 20 participating teams, surpassing by 24 the previous record of 1,222 in the competition’s first season, 1992-1993.
Quansah (Liverpool), the record-breaking goal
It was necessary for 14 goals to be scored today on the last day for the record to become a reality. And the author of the 1,223rd goal and, therefore, surpassed it was scored by the defender Jarell Quansah for Liverpool in the match against Wolverhampton at Anfield (2-0). This was the afternoon when the ‘red’ fans said goodbye to their legendary coach Jurgen Klopp.
There are several factors that explain the scoring explosion this season, such as longer games as a result of longer hours, more offensive-minded coaches and the weakness of promoted teams, Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United, who only stayed one year in the Premier.
It should be noted that the previous record of 1,222 occurred in the inaugural Premier League campaign in 1992-93, when there were 22 teams participating instead of the current 20.
