The Premier League is a professional association football league in England and the highest level of the English football league system. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League (EFL). Seasons usually run from August to May, with each team playing 38 matches: two against each other team, one home and one away. Most games are played on weekend afternoons, with occasional weekday evening fixtures.
The hunt for the most goals in a single Premier League season is a story of three distinct eras and a few legendary names. For nearly 30 years, a benchmark set in the league’s early, longer seasons seemed untouchable-until a certain Norwegian “robot” arrived in Manchester.
Erling Haaland’s record for the most Premier League goals in a single season. The Manchester City striker found the net 36 times in his explosive debut campaign to knock Andy Cole and Alan Shearer (34) off the top spot.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is set to fall just short in what has been a remarkable campaign- though the single-season goal contributions record is under serious threat.
