Premier League goals rise as chaotic end-to-end football returns

Premier League goals are up to 2.82 per game from 2.75 last season, with fast-break shots rising to 2.08 per game and long-range strikes increasing. Set-piece goals have fallen from 0.71 to 0.56 per game, while 2-2 is the joint-most common scoreline. If the trend continues, 2026-27 could become the second-highest scoring season in Premier League history.
