❌ Goal drought: Premier League season sees worrying drop in goals | OneFootball

The 0-0 draw between Wolverhampton and Newcastle this Sunday (18) brought a curious and somewhat concerning statistic for fans of offensive football.

According to Opta data, this was the 17th goalless draw of the current Premier League season.

What stands out is the speed at which this number was reached: it took only 218 matches to surpass the mark of the entire previous edition.

In the 2024-25 season, the entire championship recorded only 16 games that ended in a goalless draw over the course of 380 rounds.

Now, with just over half of the calendar completed, the efficiency of the attacks seems to have dropped, or the defenses have learned to close better.

The fact is that fans have been celebrating fewer goals, and the most celebrated league in the world is experiencing a moment of slim scorelines that challenges the expectations of those seeking constant entertainment.
