Newcastle United to reach this massive milestone on Sunday to round off season?


 
 
 
 
 
 

This is it, the final Newcastle United match of the season.

Brentford away on Sunday.

A win would guarantee at least top seven.

Whilst a win for Newcastle and defeat at home for Chelsea against Bournemouth, would guarantee top six for Eddie Howe’s side.

However, another massive milestone could possibly be hit on Sunday by NUFC…

Number of goals scored by Newcastle United this season against the clubs they have played:

13 Sheffield United

8 Aston Villa

7 Chelsea

6 Fulham, Burnley, West Ham, Man U

5 PSG, Wolves, Tottenham

4 Palace, Luton, Forest

3 Sunderland, Man City, Liverpool

2 Arsenal, Bournemouth, Brighton

1 AC Milan, Blackburn, Brentford, Everton,

0 Borussia Dortmund

Yes, in 50 games across all competitions, Newcastle United have scored 98 goals.

So 2+ needed on Sunday to hit that century milestone AND hopefully ensure all three points as well.

When it comes to the breakdown of goals by competition for Newcastle United:

Premier League – Played 37 and 81 goals scored

FA Cup – Played 4 and 6 goals scored

League Cup – Played 3 and 5 goals scored

Champions League – Played 6 and 6 goals scored

Quite astonishing to have scored 98 goals despite so many players missing for so long.

To be a successful team over any period of time, the ability to be amongst the top scoring clubs is pretty essential, so the signs are more than promising.
