The Longest Premier League Scoring Streaks in History: Arsenal's 55-game record remains untouchable

Image
  The ability to score consistently ranks among the most valuable attributes of any football team. Throughout Premier League history, several clubs have managed to create impressive runs of consecutive matches with at least one goal scored. Arsenal 2001-2002: Untouchable record of 55 games The record for the longest streak of consecutive Premier League matches with a goal belongs to Arsenal by a considerable margin. While the Invincibles of 2003-04 are more celebrated, Arsène Wenger's 2001-02 title winners achieved something that remains unmatched - they scored in every single one of their 38 league matches. The streak began after disappointment from a goalless draw against Newcastle. Ashley Cole started the scoring run with a goal in a 3-2 defeat at Southampton. After winning the title with 100% scoring success in 2001-02, the streak finally ended on 7 December 2002 with a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford, where Thierry Henry came close to extending the run. Tottenham 2023-2024: M...

16 August 2025 Brighton's defensive midfield duo are set to play crucial roles in the season opener. Yankuba Minteh demonstrated consistent tackling ability last season, averaging 2.4 tackles per 90 minutes in the Premier League.

Between the posts for Fulham, Bernd Leno enters the new campaign fresh from a busy end to last season. The German goalkeeper averaged 2.9 saves per 90 minutes in the Premier League and demonstrated his shot-st...

BRIGHTON'S ATTACKING POWER VS ASTON VILLA'S SET-PIECE SPECIALISTS: PEDRO ON PATH TO CLUB RECORD!

  Brighton and Hove Albion – Aston Villa April 1st, 2025 The Amex Stadium has transformed into a fortress in recent weeks. Brighton have won three league games in a row and now stand before a historic opportunity - a fourth consecutive home victory would mark a premier entry in the club's top-flight chronicles. However, statistics warn that Aston Villa isn't among the Seagulls' favorite opponents. Brighton have beaten them at home only once in five attempts, though this happened in their last mutual encounter at this stadium in May last year (1-0). The Villans were almost unbeatable against Brighton until recently. Between November 2021 and September 2023, they recorded five consecutive wins, but in the last two duels, they've failed to collect points (a draw and a loss). Unai Emery's men are improving though - they've won two of their last three league games, which equals their record from the previous nine combined. Brighton's offensive strength is adm...
