Premier League Teams With The Most Goals Scored By Substitutes This Season

There are few moments as satisfying for a Premier League manager as witnessing a substitution that results in a goal.

Every team needs game-changer players who can be called upon from the bench to make a substantial impact when the match hangs in the balance.

These individuals possess the unique ability to shift the momentum, spark creativity, and turn the tide in their team’s favor, proving that sometimes, the most crucial contributions come from those waiting for their chance to shine.

A host of footballers have carved out their reputations by doing just that: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Javier Hernandez, Olivier Giroud, and Tore Andre Flo, to name a few.

Being able to send in the right person at the right time to make an impact is valuable, one that Marco Silva possesses. His Fulham side have scored 13 goals off the bench so far this season, the most of any top-flight side.

Right behind is Bournemouth, whose substitutes have scored 12 goals to help them compete for a place in Europe.

With Arsenal, Brighton, and Nottingham Forest completing the top five, one notable commonality among these teams is their position in the top half of the Premier League table.

This shows the critical importance of having a strong bench and squad depth to compete effectively at the highest levels of the division.

Super subs strike again for Silva

Silva celebrated his milestone as only the second Portuguese manager, after José Mourinho, to manage 200 Premier League games in style, leading his team to bounce back after last week’s defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.

This victory positions them strongly as they head into the final international break of the season.

The Fulham manager gave Willian his first top-flight start since returning to Craven Cottage.

However, he was unable to make an impact during a lackluster opening half, where both teams struggled to create any significant attacking opportunities.

The hosts did have the best opportunity before the break, though it was unfortunate Davies’s loose clearance fell to full-back Castagne, rather than one of Fulham’s attackers.

But when Silva was needed in the second half, he got it spot on when turning to his substitutes.

Muniz, who replaced Raul Jimenez, finished expertly to break the deadlock, while Sessegnon came back to haunt his old club within a minute of taking Willian’s place.

Fulham have now scored 13 goals from substitutes this season, the highest in the Premier League.

This victory keeps them firmly in the race for European qualification as they head into a trip to Arsenal following the international break.
