Ninety-three countries have had a representative score at least five goals in the Premier League. How many can you name?
When Tomas Soucek latched on to Jarrod Bowen’s low cross and glanced the ball between Senne Lammens’ legs, the midfielder – probably unbeknownst to him – became Czechia’s all-time leading Premier League goalscorer.
It’s a pretty niche stat/record, we’ll grant you that, but it’s no less factual. That goal was his 39th in the Premier League, moving him one ahead of former Liverpool, Portsmouth and Aston Villa midfielder Patrik Berger.
The goal ended up being cancelled out by Manchester United’s Benjamin Sesko in a 1-1 draw; coincidentally, he is also the leading Premier League goalscorer for his country, Slovenia. That was his sixth in England’s top flight.
Soucek’s goal in particular got us thinking about the top scorers of various other nations in the Premier League.
Some of them are obvious. Alan Shearer, for instance, is the all-time leading scorer in the Premier League (260), so that covers off England.
Then, Mohamed Salah (190) doesn’t have much competition from his Egyptian compatriots. Similar could be said of Argentina’s Sergio Agüero (184), Thierry Henry of France (175) and Cristiano Ronaldo (103) for Portugal.
In fact, another country’s leading scorer increased his tally on Wednesday night, as Norway’s Erling Haaland netted Manchester City’s third in their 3-0 win over Fulham. That took him to 107 Premier League goals, having surpassed Ole Gunnar Solskjær earlier this season.
There are plenty of other more obscure names who hold their country’s particular record, however.
In total, 93 different countries have had at least one player manage five goals in the Premier League (we’ve gone with 5+ to avoid having the list clogged up lots of very low totals).
Sixteen of them have their leading scorers currently playing in the division, including Soucek, Haaland and Sesko.
Reckon you can guess the others? Or, fancy trying to guess as many as you can?
Well, below you’ll find the complete list of every nation’s top scorer with 5+ Premier League goals…
