Sky Sports highlight resurgence in English goalscorers in Premier League – Newcastle United doing their bit
Some interesting analysis from Sky Sports.
The broadcaster looking at the goals scored in the Premier League across the 2023/24 season.
Sky Sports concentrating especially on goals scored by English players.
As they point out, six English players featured in the list of top 10 goalscorers.
Including four of the top six places:
31 Erling Haaland
22 Cole Palmer
21 Alexander Isak
19 Phil Foden
19 Ollie Watkins
19 Dominic Solanke
18 Mohamed Salah
17 Son Heung-Min
16 Jarrod Bowen
16 Bukayo Saka
Sky Sports though looking at the full picture as well, with in total 369 goals scored by English players.
This is the highest by English players since 2002:
Newcastle United may not have had any English players amongst the top ten Premier League scorers, however, they have had plenty of independent English players who have scored PL goals.
Newcastle United English players – Premier League goals during 2023/24 season
10 Anthony Gordon
9 Callum Wilson
6 Sean Longstaff
4 Harvey Barnes
2 Jacob Murphy
2 Dan Burn
1 Lewis Miley
1 Joe Willock
1 Jamaal Lascelles
1 Kieran Trippier
1 Tino Livramento
I can’t imagine any other Premier League team had as many as 11 different English scorers, as Newcastle United did.
Those 11 NUFC players above scoring 38 Premier League goals between them.
