After Lewis Hall’s goal, we have equaled the record (held by Man U), of 20 different goal scorers in a PL season. We just need Kraft, Targett, Dummet, or Anderson to score tomorrow to beat it.
We also only need one more goal to match our all time PL goals tally record, which was 82 in the 93/94 season when teams played 42 games per season (we already passed the record of 78 goals for a 38-match season).
So a 2-0 win with Anderson scoring would be pretty special.
We also scored in every home (PL) game this season for the first time, and broke the record for the most different scorers from a single team in a Premier League game with the 8-0 win at Sheffield United.
Given the above, it really highlights our frailties in defence this season - especially away from home. I know we’ve had an injury crisis (plus Tonali’s ban) but there have been other issues like that unusual poor spell from Tripps that cost us a few goals/games before he got injured.
Let’s hope they can sort all this over the summer and come back stronger next season. If we can keep the attack rate and shore-up at the back, it’s going to be an exciting season!
