Phil Foden’s Hat-Trick Sets New Premier League Record for Highest Number of Goals in 23rd Round

The record was broken thanks to Manchester City’s victory at Brentford (3-1). The English championship season is as prolific as ever

Phil Foden was largely responsible for making the 23rd round of the 2023/24 Premier League the one with the highest number of goals ever, since the championship is played between 20 teams (something that has happened since 1995/96). In total, 45 goals were scored on this journey and the Englishman’s hat-trick against Brentford was decisive in reaching this record.

The highest previous record belonged to the 2nd round of the 2020/21 season and the 34th round of last season, when 44 goals were scored in both.

Looking at the journey that ended this Monday, there was an average of 4.5 goals scored per game, with the most being the 4-4 draw between Newcastle and Luton. The duel with the fewest goals involved Nuno Espírito Santo’s Nottingham Forest, who drew 1-1 with Bournemouth.

Thus, after 228 games in the current championship, each game had an impressive average of 3.20 goals, totaling 730 accurate shots. If this record continues, this edition of the Premier League will be the one with the most goals ever (again, since the championship has 20 teams).
