Breaking News: Newcastle United breaks Premier League record

There has been Premier League history made.

Newcastle United was a key player in making it happen.

The eight goals NUFC scored and gave up during the Newcastle vs. Luton game at St. James’ Park.

The most goals ever scored in a Premier League round of ten matchup was forty-four.

(This had occurred twice, in Matchweek 34 of the previous season and in Matchweek 2 of the 2020–21 campaign. Ironically, neither total included a single goal from Newcastle United. Brucey’s Newcastle lost 3-0 at home to Brighton in matchweek 2 of the 2020–2021 season, whereas the team lost 2-0 at home to Arsenal in matchweek 34 of the previous season.)

However, that is now history.

The Premier League record is now 45 goals scored in a single round of 10 PL matches.

This weekend seeing the following results…

Saturday 3 February

Everton 2 v Spurs 2

Brighton 4 v Palace 1

Burnley 2 Fulham 2

Newcastle United 4 Luton 4

Sheff Utd 0 Villa 5

Sunday 4 February

Bournemouth 1 Forest 1

Chelsea 2 Wolves 4

Man U 3 West Ham 0

Arsenal 3 Liverpool 1

Monday 5 February

Brentford 1 Man City 3

Yes, this past weekend’s 45th goal in the Premier League came from Phil Foden’s hat-trick, which turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 lead.

The SJP game this weekend contributed more goals than any other, with Newcastle 4 Luton 4 being the most notable match in many aspects.

Furthermore…

Although the Premier League is overhyped, if you measure it by goals scored, it is actually performing rather well this season.

We have already scored an incredible 729 goals this season in just 228 Premier League games.

With 1,084 goals scored in 38 Premier League games, the previous season’s record still stands.

About 1,215 goals would be scored if the current season’s pace—just over 3.19 goals per game—were to continue until the end of May 2024.
