Most goals scored by teams in the Premier League: List

Most goals scored by teams in the Premier League come from a varied list of top teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United, who are considered as English football royalty. Also present are the 21st century, big boys like Manchester City and Chelsea, who have risen to the status of Premier League elite with their resurgence post-2000s. Let's take a look at which teams have scored the most goals in Premier League history.

6.Manchester City (1,627 Goals):

Most goals scored in a Premier League season – 106, season 2017/18.

Manchester City have dominated the Premier League in the last few years. They could get further up the most goals list as the years go on, but for the moment the current champions find themselves in sixth place.

City's best scoring record in the Premier League came in season 17/18, when they scored a remarkable 106 goals – a record – as they won the league.

City's top scorer that season was Sergio Aguero, who scored 21 goals, in the middle of a run where he was City's top scorer in the league for five seasons in a row.

5. Tottenham Hotspurs (1,716 Goals):

Most goals scored in a Premier League season – 86, season 2016/17.

When you look at the number of goals that Tottenham have scored since the Premier League started their fans must be bemused that they haven't won the title yet. On the plus side, they have got to see some very good strikers play for their team, such as Jurgen Klinsmann and Harry Kane.

Spurs' best scoring record in the Premier League was in season 16/17, they scored 86 goals as they finished in second place, Tottenham's highest Premier League finish so far.

Tottenham's top scorer that season was Harry Kane, who scored 29 goals. Kane has been Spurs' top goal scorer in the last seven Premier League seasons, which shows just how good a goal scorer he is.

4. Chelsea FC (1,953 Goals):

Most goals scored in a Premier League season – 103, season 2009/10.

Chelsea have won multiple Premier League titles, so they are well-worth their fourth place in the list. Had they won their first title before 04/05 they could have been higher up the list, but the Chelsea fans will likely be satisfied with the football they have watched over the last 20 years.

Chelsea's best season for scoring goals was the title winning campaign of 09/10, where they scored an incredible 103 goals.

The Stamford Bridge side's top scored in that title winning season was Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, who scored 29 times.

3. Arsenal (1,997 Goals):

Most goals scored in a Premier League season – 87, season 04/05.

Arsenal might not have challenged for the Premier League in recent seasons, but for much of the league's existence they have been one of the top teams in the competitions. Indeed, they have won the Premier League three times, which is why they more than merit their second spot on the goal list,

Arsenal's best goal scoring season in Premier League history came in season 04/05, when they scored 87 goals, finishing as runners-up behind Chelsea.

The Gunners' top scorer that season was club legend Thierry Henry, who scored 25 goals

2. Liverpool (1,998 Goals):

Most goals scored in a Premier League season – 101, season 13/14.

Liverpool have been a Premier League mainstay for almost 30 years, have wracked up wins and goals, yet have only managed to win the title once, which is quite remarkable really.

Their fans will be glad that the 30 year wait for the title ended in season 19/20, and after injury issues last season Jurgen Klopp will likely be expecting a challenge for the Premier League title this season.

Liverpool's best goal scoring season in the Premier League came in season 13/14, where they scored 101 goals but were pipped to the title by Manchester City.

The top scorer for the Anfield side that season was Mohammed Salah, who found the back of the net 32 times in 2017/18 season.

1. Manchester United (2,173 Goals)

Most goals scored in a Premier League season – 97, season 99/00.

With 13 Premier League titles to their credit, there was only one club that could be number one on the list.

Manchester United are the only club to score over 2,000 goals in the Premier League, and although other clubs will soon meet that target, their chances of ever catching the red half of Manchester seems slim.

Manchester United's best goal-scoring campaign in the Premier League was in season 99/00, when they scored 97 goals as they won the league. Manchester United currently leads the list of most goals scored by teams in the Premier League

United's top scorer in the 99/00 campaign was Wayne Rooney, who scored 26 goals.
