Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo scores their side’s first goal of the game from the half-way line during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and AFC Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, London, Sunday.

LONDON — The Premier League has never seen so many goals in a single season.

Jarell Quansah’s strike for Liverpool against Wolverhampton at Anfield during Sunday’s final round took the number of goals scored in England’s top flight this campaign to 1,223 — a record.

The final goals total was 1,246 — 24 more than the previous record which came in the inaugural 1992-93 Premier League campaign, when there were 22 teams in the division.

Various factors could be behind the increase in goals this season, including longer games because of more stoppage time, more attack-minded coaches, and the weaknesses of the promoted teams.
