More than 2.7 goals a game have been registered in the past four Premier League seasons and a fifth is a distinct possibilityThere were 42 goals in the Premier League at the weekend, a bumper crop that, with 16 more in five midweek games, took the average goals per game this season to 2.73 . With Luis Suárez and Daniel Sturridge in devastating form, Manchester City hammering teams all over the place and Fulham shipping hatfuls every week, this has felt like a season of glut.
It's not, though: 2.73 goals is lower than last season's average of 2.80 goals per game in the Premier League, which in turn was lower than the 2.81 of 2011-12. In fact, if things go on as they are, this will be the lowest scoring season since 2008-09.
