But after four successive games without a goal, he recently achieved the milestone against Crystal Palace. He's now etched his name onto an illustrious list of players to have scored over 100 Premier League goals - which includes Ian Wright, Teddy Sheringham and...

It can be hard for us as football supporters to accept that the role that probability, and sometimes just blind luck, play in the form of our favourite players. It's a boring but true fact that a sizeable chunk of superhot early-season scoring streaks can usually be attributed to good old-fashioned statistical variance, much as it would have been impolite to ask any Norwich supporter 'erm, have you factored in his probable regression to the mean?' during last August's Teemu Pukki Party. But...

Chelsea lost 3-0 to Sheffield United on Saturday. Chelsea, as they so often do when presented with the chance to make life easy, vanished off the face of the earth and put in one of the worst performances of the season. Losing the game isn't the biggest concern. Every team loses games at some point. Sometimes, you've just got to hold your hands up and admit the other team were better. However, Chelsea have a habit of rolling over and accepting defeat far too easily. After the game, Frank...

Is there a greater sight in Serie A right now than the slippery bob-and-weave of Alejandro 'Papu' Gómez? No. No there isn't. Marking Atalanta's elusive number ten is like trying to pin a wave to the sand. Even the act of pigeonholing Gómez as simply an attacking midfielder does something of a disservice to his omnipresence across the pitch. ??

Last season's Player of the Year is having a bit of a rough time. I mean, three goals in his last 17 appearances is hardly the makings of a £46m frontman, is it? Call me old-fashioned, but I like my strikers to score goals. Y'know, the one-in-two(ish) rate where you're almost assured that if they didn't score this weekend, they'll bag one in the next. ?

Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal believes that his side are still in the La Liga title race following their scrappy 1-0 win over Real Valladolid on Saturday. La Blaugrana have already dropped points three times since football's return and needed an early goal from Vidal to ensure they didn't make it four against Valladolid. The shot. The celebration. pic.twitter.com/FX6fTtySMO — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) July 11, 2020 They now sit one point behind leaders Real Madrid, who will have the...

Manchester City have not ruled out the possibility of extending Sergio Aguero's stay with the club for another 12 months, taking him through to 2022, despite currently being sidelined through injury. The club's all-time top scorer hasn't featured since the 5-0 thumping of Burnley in June, suffering a knee injury that required surgery and has ruled him out of the Cityzens' Champions League semi-final second leg with Real Madrid on 7 August.

As Gianluigi Buffon fiddled with the velcro on his gloves, striding out into a barren Allianz Stadium, the 'Maradona of Goalkeepers' added another landmark moment to the weighty tome detailing his achievements. Juventus' regulation 4-1 win over Torino was Buffon's 648th appearance in Serie A, overtaking the record held by Milan legend Paolo Maldini, who had sat atop the chart for the best part of 15 years. Serie A's all-time leading appearance maker. 648 games played. Gianluigi Buffon is a...

It is no secret that Chelsea have not been the best at the back this season. Their defensive frailties have been exploited time and time again, particularly since the Premier League's resumption. The recent 3-2 derby defeat to West Ham, and the narrow victory at Crystal Palace - in which they tried their very best to throw away a lead - accentuated the Blues' weakness. On Saturday they were laid bare. Frank Lampard’s men travelled to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United, which is by no means...

tory Manchester City put their away day troubles behind them with a comprehensive 5-0 win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Pep Guardiola's side had lost three of their last four Premier League games on the road, but were rarely troubled against an out-of-sorts Seagulls side who were never really at the races.

Jose Mourinho has admitted that he wants his Tottenham side to be a 'reflection of what the coach is' when they face Arsenal on Sunday. Mourinho is poised to take charge of his first north London Derby off the back of a wretched run of form that has seen Spurs drop out of contention for a Champions League qualification spot.
