Arsenal become only eighth European team to join the 100 goals club after Hull win

When Arsenal beat Hull City 3-1 on Monday night, it not only helped the Gunners maintain the pressure on second-placed Manchester City but also ensured the north Londoners joined just seven other European teams with a century of goals this term.

Alexis Sanchez’s brace either side of Aaron Ramsey’s 33rd-minute strike meant Arsenal joined Chelsea as the second Premier League side to have netted 100 goals in all competitions this season.


The Gunners achieved the feat of scoring a century of goals in 51 games – the same number of matches taken by Jose Mourinho’s league champions to have netted 105 goals this term.

Barcelona have scored a whopping 159 goals so far this season

But while the goals at the KC Stadium ensured the Gunners sit only second to the Blues in England’s scoring charts, they also meant Arsene Wenger’s side are the eighth team to achieve the feat in Europe.

Wolfsburg, Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain have all scored a century of goals or more this season while Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona all – unsurprisingly – make the list too.

Pep Guardiola’s side are one of the most highest-scoring teams in Europe with 117 goals in 47 games, with Carlo Ancelotti’s team coming in second place after netting 147 goals in 54 matches this campaign.

Way out in front, though, are Barcelona whose attacking trio of Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have been crucial in helping the Catalan giants top the scoring charts with a staggering 159 goals in just 53 games.

The teams with 100 goals this season 

1. Wolfsburg: 100 goals in 48 games 
2. Arsenal: 100 goals in 51 games 
3. Sevilla: 105 goals in 54 games 
4. Chelsea: 105 goals in 51 games 
5. PSG: 110 goals in 55 games 
6. Bayern Munich: 117 goals in 47 games 
7. Real Madrid: 147 goals in 54 games 
8. Barcelona: 159 goals in 53 games
