Premier League record falls as 2023-24 becomes most goal-laden 20-team season

The current Premier League season has become the most goal-laden 20-team campaign in the competition s history, with Harry Maguire the unlikely man to seal 2023-24 s place in history.

Maguire scored Manchester United s first equaliser as they twice fought from behind to clinch a 4-2 win over Sheffield United on Wednesday, with Bruno Fernandes netting twice in the second half.

The centre-back s 42nd-minute header was a significant moment, representing the 1,085th goal scored in the Premier League this term.

That is the most ever scored in a season containing 20 teams, since 1995-96.

1085 Harry Maguire s goal was the 1085th scored in the Premier League season, the most in a 20-team campaign in the competition s history. Record.
