The Premier League has been graced by some of the world\u2019s most devastating forwards since its inception, boasting some incredible attacking teams over the years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result, it\u2019s often been difficult for Premier League defences to shut out the division\u2019s sharpshooters, leading to some impressive goalscoring streaks.<\/p>\n

The club with the longest run managed goals in over half a century of consecutive matches, a record that will be difficult for any team to topple.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Pep Guardiola\u2019s\u00a0Manchester City\u00a0side have managed one of the most impressive scoring streaks, finding the back of the net in\u00a029 matches<\/strong>\u00a0consecutively in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

A run that began following a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in December 2018 and included a 15-game winning streak, Man City claimed the Premier League title during their impressive goalscoring period. In said 29 games, the Cityzens amassed 77 goals, including an 8-0 demolition of Watford and a 6-0 thrashing of Chelsea at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

However, the run finally came to an end in early October, Guardiola\u2019s men losing 2-0 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers. A late brace from Adama Traore condemned Man City to their second defeat of the season after just eight matches, with Liverpool eventually stealing their Premier League crown during the 2019\/20 campaign.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Tottenham (March 2023 \u2013 Present)<\/h2>\n

Tottenham\u00a0are still enjoying their merry run of\u00a029 matches<\/strong>\u00a0with a goal, only needing to score in their next game to overtake Man City and move to fifth outright in the all-time rankings.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a streak that has amazingly taken place under four separate managers. It began under Antonio Conte in March 2023 with a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest, with Cristian Stellini, Ryan Mason and now Ange Postecoglou maintaining it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not necessarily been a glistening run \u2013 Spurs have lost nine of the 29 matches \u2013 but the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski have made sure that at least the goals haven\u2019t stopped in north London.<\/p>\n

How long Postecoglou\u2019s free-scoring Lilywhites can continue their impressive record remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Brighton,\u00a032 matches<\/strong>\u00a0of scoring in a row came to an end in mid-December 2023 when the Seagulls fell to a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates.<\/p>\n

It was a game in which the south coast side offered very little going forward, something that has been a rare occurrence under the vibrant Roberto De Zerbi.<\/p>\n

Brighton\u2019s stellar\u00a0Premier League\u00a0run began with a 4-0 trouncing of West Ham in March 2023 and included victories over Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United.<\/p>\n

The 2007\/08 season ended with a Champions League and Premier League double for\u00a0Man Utd, but it also marked the beginning of a remarkable run. The Red Devils netted in\u00a036 matches<\/strong>\u00a0in a row, the streak eventually coming to an end part way through the following campaign.<\/p>\n

Starting with a Cristiano Ronaldo brace against Fulham in December 2007, the run finally came to a halt just under a year later, Alex Ferguson\u2019s side enduring a goalless draw against Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

While a disappointing result, the clash with Villa marked the second of a division record 14 consecutive Premier League clean sheets.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Liverpool (March 2019 \u2013 February 2020)<\/h2>\n

Liverpool\u00a0matched bitter rivals Man Utd\u2019s run of\u00a036 matches<\/strong>, starting with a 4-2 win over Burnley at Anfield in March 2019. Despite only losing one game in the entire season, the Reds were unable to usurp Man City at the top of the table, albeit they did manage to win the Champions League come June.<\/p>\n

However, their streak of goalscoring ran into the 2019\/20 season, Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side eventually ending the club\u2019s long wait for a league title.<\/p>\n

The prolific trio of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah ensured that goals were seldom an issue, although their blank in a 3-0 defeat to Watford in late February 2020 did end their streak.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair to say that\u00a0Arsenal\u2019s run of\u00a055 matches<\/strong>\u00a0is unlikely to be beaten any time soon. The Gunners achieved the sensational feat at the beginning of the 21st century, a streak that spanned a year-and-a-half.<\/p>\n

Despite starting with a 3-2 defeat away at Southampton on the final day of the 2000\/01 season, it would continue over the entirety of the 2001\/02 campaign, only finishing in December 2002 with a 2-0 defeat to rivals Man Utd.<\/p>\n

Over their 55-game streak, Arsene Wenger\u2019s side managed 117 goals, winning the Premier League and FA Cup double in May 2002.<\/p>\n
