The year 2024 started on a difficult note for Arsenal, as they struggled over the Christmas and New Year period. However, the team managed to bounce back in spectacular fashion by winning all six of their Premier League games since then. What’s even more impressive is the number of goals they have been scoring in these matches. The Gunners have netted a total of 25 goals in their last six league outings, with dominant victories over West Ham United, Burnley, and Newcastle United.
While Arsenal’s recent goal-scoring streak is certainly impressive, how does it compare to some of the biggest goal rushes in Premier League history? Manchester City holds the record for the most goals scored in a three-match span, with a total of 17 goals in the 2021-22 season. This streak came during a 12-match winning run that saw City ultimately clinch the title.
In the 1997-98 season, Manchester United set a record for the most goals scored in a four-match span, with a total of 20 goals. This impressive run propelled United to the top of the table temporarily, before they were eventually pipped to the post by Arsenal.
Manchester City holds the record for the most goals scored in a five-match span, with an incredible 24 goals in the 2017-18 season. This run was part of an 18-game winning streak that saw City establish themselves as the team to beat in the league.
After their comprehensive victory over Stoke City, Manchester City went on to set a new record for the most goals scored in a six-match span, with 27 goals. Sergio Aguero played a key role in this achievement, solidifying his status as one of City’s all-time leading goal scorers.
City’s goal-scoring exploits continued as they set yet another record for the most goals scored in a seven-match span, with an impressive total of 30 goals in the 2017-18 season. This remarkable scoring run helped City establish a significant lead at the top of the table, a position they maintained until the end of the season.
As Arsenal gear up for their next game against Sheffield United, they have the opportunity to set a new Premier League record for the most goals scored in a seven-game span. With the form they are currently in, it is entirely possible that they could achieve this feat and etch their names into the history books.
The Premier League has seen some remarkable goal-scoring runs over the years, with teams like Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea setting new benchmarks for excellence. As Arsenal looks to continue their resurgence and potentially make history with their goal-scoring exploits, it is clear that the league is home to some of the most exciting and dynamic teams in world football.
