  • GoalFest: The Premier League’s highest scoring games

    For all the intricacies of today's footballing landscape, with managers employing unusual tactics - think Pep Guardiola fielding four centre backs - and a greater emphasis on playing it out from the back, the greatest joy a game can give its viewers is still a goalfest, where chaos reigns supreme and the net never seems to stop bulging. And Manchester United's recent 4-4 draw with Bournemouth at Old Trafford has reignited that spark. Indeed, this scoreline is by far the most common in terms
