The Premier League is the most competitive top-flight competition in the world. With tighter defending and a faster pace than the rest of the top leagues in Europe, it is really difficult to make a mark in England. But some players have been able to prosper regardless of the difficulties.
In this article, we take a look at the top five players with the most goal contributions in one season of the Premier League.
Let’s explore the Top 5 players with the highest goal contributions in a single Premier League season:
5. Mohamed Salah – 42
Salah had an extraordinary performance in the 2017/18 season. Upon joining from Roma, the Egyptian player achieved a remarkable record of 32 goals and 10 assists, earning him a place on the list.
4. Luis Suarez – 43
Another Liverpool icon, Suarez scored 31 non-penalty goals and provided 12 assists in a single season. His form in the 2013/14 season was something else altogether.
3. Thierry Henry – 44
Henry holds the record for the most goals scored in Arsenal‘s history. Even though he scored 24 goals in the 2002/03 season, he didn’t receive the golden boot award. Instead, it was awarded to Ruud Van Nilsterooy, who scored one goal more than Henry. However, Henry managed to give an impressive 20 assists throughout the season.
2. Andrew Cole – 47
Andrew Cole was playing for Newcastle United when he tore the competition apart. He won the Golden Boot with 34 goals and also provided 13 assists.
