The first round of the 2024-25 Premier League season has concluded. While there were no goalless draws, the teams’ firepower was generally underwhelming.
A total of 21 goals were scored in the 10 games of the first round, averaging just 2.1 goals per game. This is the lowest average in the opening round in the last 12 years, when the 2011-12 season saw 20 goals in the first round, averaging 2 goals per game.
The first round also saw several controversial decisions, including goals being disallowed, which may have stifled teams’ attacking efforts. The Premier League’s second round kicks off this weekend, featuring exciting clashes like Aston Villa vs. Arsenal and Brighton vs. Manchester United. Whether the teams can regain their attacking prowess remains to be seen.
