Arsenal passed a milestone during their 3-1 victory over Reading on
Monday night.
Arsenal became only the second team, behind Manchester United, to
break through the four-figure goals barrier since the formation of
the Premier League in 1992.
Not surprisingly, the so-called Big Four have dominated goalscoring
in the top-flight since the League's inaugural season, 1992-93.
Liverpool and Chelsea are on course to pass the 1,000 mark early
next season.
But Newcastle have also been fairly prolific in the goalscoring
stakes. The Magpies lie fifth in the table, despite having played
one fewer season in the Premier League than the four teams above
them.
Arsenal have scored in every Premier League game so far this season
- but they are still a long way bhind Manchester United in terms of
total number of Premier League goals scored.
United's current tally - 1,163 - is testament to their success in
winning the title in nine of the 15 Premier League seasons
completed to date.
