Scott McTominay has scored the 2000th Premier League goal for Manchester United against Norwich City on Sunday.
Scott McTominay has come through the Manchester United youth academy. It is their homegrown player who has scored the 2000th Premier League goal for them. McTominay produced a low strike beyond Norwich City’s goalkeeper Tim Krul to score the milestone goal. The goal was his 4th goal in the United colours.
Manchester United scored two more goals after the opening McTominay goal to take their Premier League goals tally to 2002 goals. They are the 1st team to cross the 2000 Premier League goals milestone. Arsenal are second on the all-time list with 1860 goals, while Liverpool (1795) and Chelsea (1793) are third and fourth respectively.
Manchester United’s milestone goalscorers:
- Mark Hughes scored the first Premier League goal for Manchester United in a 2-1 loss to Sheffield United in August 1992. The Wales international made 345 appearances for Manchester United over two spells and scored 120 goals.
- Andy Cole scored their 500th goal in the Premier League during the most famous season of their storied history. Cole scored that goal in February 1999. It was that season when they won the treble – Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. Manchester United are the first and so far the only team to achieve that feat.
- Cristiano Ronaldo brought up their 1000th Premier goal in October 2005. He scored a consolation header in a 4-1 loss at Middlesbrough. He was at an early stage of his United career during that time and has since then gone on to become one of the greatest players of all time.
- Dimitar Berbatov scored the 1500th goal in Manchester United’s Premier League history in 2011. He signed from Tottenham Hotspur and scored 48 goals in just 108 games for Sir Alex Ferguson.
