So far this season, the race for the title has been brutal. A Boxing Day blunder saw Sheffield United gain the unfortunate record of being the first team in Premier League history to score two own goals after the 75th minute, handing Luton a 3:2 win.

The embarrassing spectacle of an own goal is nothing new for the Premier League, with 24 own goals so far this season and more than one thousand own goals throughout the years. Researchers at  Ticketgum gathered some data and discovered the Premier League clubs past and present who have scored the most own goals.

Hull City takes the crown for most own goals in the history of the Premier League with a 3.2 average per season. They are currently playing in the Championship. Hull City last appeared in the 2016-17 season and saw the relegation. In only 5 of their seasons in the Premier League, they have scored 16 own goals, and are deservingly sitting at the top of this list.

QPR are sitting 22nd in the Championship and most probably will get relegated to England's third division of football. QPR are second in this list with a 3.14 average per season for most own goals. They last appeared in the top tier of English football in the 2014-15 season and got relegated after finishing last with only 30 points in 38 games. QPR have scored 22 goals in their 7 Premier League seasons and are sitting at the second spot of this list.

The Seagulls were promoted into the Premier League by finishing runners-up to the Magpies and winning automatic promotion from the EFL Championship in 2016/17. The club faced difficult times before returning to the top division for the first time in 34 years.

Since then, they have just improved in almost every aspect as a club except scoring plenty numbers of own-goals. In their 7 seasons of English top-tier football, Brighton have scored 19 own goals and are sitting at the 3rd spot of this list.

After getting relegated to the Championship at the end of 2021-22 season, Watford have found it very difficult to improve as a club. But in their 8 seasons of Premier League football also haven't seen success and above all of the worst things that happened to them, scoring 21 goals at an average of 2.63 per season is something they will never forget.

Fulham have played a total of 17 seasons in the Premier League and they are only the second team in this top 10 list to play in the top tier of English Football at present.

The Premier League has seen some of the greatest figures who have led their respective teams to ultimate glory, wearing the captain's armband. These players have been monumental in shaping the clubs' history or writing the golden chapters the clubs have enjoyed over the years, in the past or now. 

The captain's armband carries a significant value and thus it deserves the players who lead the core from the front as a true leader. This list includes some of those footballers who have not only captained their sides to innumerable glories but also set examples for the upcoming generations. 

Sportz Point ranks these five footballers based on collected achievements and the long-standing impact they have created on their respective clubs as well.

5. Vincent Kompany – Man City

Vincent Kompany cemented his legend at Manchester City when he captained the club to their inaugural Premier League title in the 2011/2012 season.

The Belgian center-back was among the limited number of players who stayed at City following the takeover by Sheikh Mansour in 2008, having signed for the club prior to the takeover being completed. During his time at City, Kompany led the team to four Premier League titles, with his last championship win being in the 2018/2019 season.

His exceptional leadership and defensive abilities made him a true icon of the club. This is reflected in his impressive Premier League record, consisting of 265 appearances, 18 goals, 8 assists, and 94 clean sheets.

4. Steven Gerrard – Liverpool

Steven Gerrard is practically synonymous with Liverpool. Despite not winning any Premier League title as a captain, the 'Captain Fantastic' Gerrard solidified the spirit of the club by leading by example through his remarkable talent, determination, and commendable attitude.

He famously inspired Liverpool to a comeback victory in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final with a heroic performance, cementing his place in Anfield folklore as one of the greatest captains in the history of the club.

Gerrard's record in the Premier League is impressive as well, with 504 games, 120 goals, and 92 assists, and this further cements his place as a Liverpool legend.

3. Patrick Vieira – Arsenal

Patrick Vieira was a very crucial part of the Arsenal team during all three of their Premier League victories. He served as club captain for the triumphs in the 2001-02 and 2003-04 seasons. The latter season featured the famous Arsenal Invincibles, who completed the entire league campaign without losing a single match.

Vieira is considered one of the best footballers in his position and is also one of the most successful and respected captains of the Premier League.

John Terry is one of the all-time greats in the history of the Premier League. Appointed Chelsea captain by Jose Mourinho in 2004, Terry took the Blues to their maiden Premier League crown in the same year.

During his 12 years as Chelsea captain, Terry had a very successful career winning five FA Cups, three League Cups, the Europa League, and the 2012 Champions League. In the Premier League, he played 492 times and scored 41 league goals, becoming the highest-scoring defender in Premier League history till date.

1. Roy Keane – Manchester United

Roy Keane is widely regarded as the Premier League's all-time greatest captain. Joined with intense drive and masterful leadership, Keane led Manchester United to four Premier League titles and the legendary treble of 1999. His unstoppable courage, tireless work ethic, and leadership through example made him an all-time Manchester United icon.

Keane's Premier League career further reinforces his legacy. He played 366 games, scored 39 goals, and won 220 matches, suffering just 61 losses during his time. Keane's incredible story goes beyond the Premier League years, however, and shows how his legacy has lasted for a long time.

Keane's stay at the Old Trafford, however, came to a sudden end following a falling out with manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2005.

Full-time | Manchester City 2-2 Brighton

Despite taking the lead two times throughout the game, Brighton hold Manchester City in a 2-2 stalemate at home.

Erling Haaland drew the first blood from the spot, which was canceled out only ten minutes later, through a blistering free-kick by Pervis Estupinan. Right before the break, Omar Marmoush produced a lightning strike, which put City ahead at the break. However, Brighton equalized only three minutes into the second half, as Hinshelwood's strike forced Khusanov to fire it into his own net. 

Following that, Brighton had a couple of chances, with Baleba missing a golden opportunity, but they fought well to snatch a point away from Etihad, intensifying the qualification race for the top four spots in the 2024-25 Premier League!

Football Facts: Managers To Win Premier League In Their Debut Season

With Arne Slot closing on winning the Premier League in his debut season as a manager, we present you with the managers to win the Premier League in their debut season.

Feb 27, 2025, 10:17 AM4 min read

Managers to win Premier League in their debut season - Jose Mourinho - 2003/04 | sportzpoint.com
Mourinho was the first manager to win Premier League in his debut season.

With Arne Slot closing on winning the Premier League in his debut season as a manager, we present you the football facts of managers to win the Premier League in their debut season. If or when Liverpool win the Premier League 2024-25 title, Arne Slot will become only the fifth manager in Premier League history to achieve the feat. 

Here are the managers to win the Premier League title in their debut season in the league. Please note we have not included Claudio Ranieri's name for winning the title with Leicester City in 2015-16, because he had already managed Chelsea from 2000 to 2004. 

Managers to win Premier League in their debut season

That is why he is the special one. Jose Mourinho came the Chelsea after winning the Champions League with Porto and created history right after that. In the 2004-05 season, Mourinho arrived at Chelsea with a champion mindset and started the season with a bang by beating Manchester United in his first game at the helm. 

With John Terry as the leader of the pack, young Peter Chech between the goals and players like Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, Mourinho took Chelsea to Premier League success with the then-record highest point of a season (95). 

However, that team still holds the Premier League record for conceding the least goals in a season (15) and most clean sheets in a season (25).

Football Facts: Managers To Win Premier League In Their Debut Season - Carlo Ancelotti | sportzpoint.com

One of the greatest football managers of the generation, Carlo Ancelotti arrived in the Premier League and was able to replicate what Mourinho had done in his debut season. 

While Mourinho had made them solid in defence, the team started to fall apart during his latter years. After a few failures by the next managers, Ancelotti took the responsibility to bring the silverware back to Stamford Bridge. 

Ancelotti unleashed a ruthless attacking mindset within the team which resulted in Chelsea creating the records for most goals scored in a Premier League season (103),  most goals scored at home in a season (68), and winning the league with the best goal difference in a season (71).

Didier Drogba scored 29 goals in the Premier League for them. Frank Lampard also showed his class with 22 league goals that season.

Pellegrini led Manchester City to their second-ever Premier League in his debut season as the head coach at Etihad Stadium. After the success of Roberto Mancini just two seasons ago, where we saw Sergio Aguero creating history for them, Pellegrini took City back to the top. 

Yaya Toure with 20 goals led them in front as they scored more than 100 goals in a season for the first time in their history. Eden Dzeko with 16 goals and Sergio Aguero with 17 also were the stars for the Blues.

They won the league two points clear of runners-up Liverpool, who had earned 84 points.

Roman Ibrahimbovic somehow was always right with appointing coaches at the right time. Antonio Conte joined Chelsea during the mid-season after Guus Hiddink handled the team as interim coach. 

Conte formed a fluid 3-4-2-1 system and with the team already out of the European title race, he had only one thing to focus on. In a season which he called "a Mourinho season”, Chelesea created history by winning 13 straight league games in a row, an equal record for any English top-flight team to enter this special list of football facts.

Conte went on to win the Premier League Manager of the Month Award for October, November and December months. No manager had won the award in three consecutive months before him. 

Chelsea with 93 points won the Premier League as Conte became the third Chelsea coach to win the league in his debut season.
