When Viktor Gyokeres scored his second goal in our 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, he was also netting our 1000th away goal in our Premier League history.
The success at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was also our biggest away victory at our north London rivals in the Premier League, as we brought up four figures of away goals in style.
To celebrate, we’ve delved into the data to look back at some of the most iconic moments on the road, as well as our happiest hunting grounds from the past 34 years!
away day goals
Our first away goal in the Premier League came on August 23, 1992, as Anders Limpar netted in a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
Since then, the goals have flown in up and down the country. In 2010, Theo Walcott scored our 500th away goal against Wigan Athletic. Three years on, Theo was scoring our 600th away goal, in a crucial 1-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers. The goal at Loftus Road is also our quickest ever Premier League strike, coming in at just 20 seconds.
Leandro Trossard netted our 900th away goal in a 1-0 win at Everton in 2023, before Viktor’s strike at Spurs helped us become just the second side in Premier League history, behind Manchester United, to net 1000 goals in away matches.
| Team | Goals |
|---|---|
| Manchester United | 1063 |
| Arsenal | 1000 |
| Liverpool | 996 |
| Chelsea | 957 |
| Tottenham Hotspur | 868 |
| Manchester City | 831 |
One of our most significant away goals was our 224th, netted by Sylvain Wiltord as we beat Manchester United 1-0 in May 2002 to secure the Premier League title.
Our 293rd away goal will also go down in history, netted by Robert Pires in the 35th minute at White Hart Lane in April 2004, as we secured the league title on enemy turf.

In total, 129 players have helped us reach 1000 away goals, with Eberechi Eze the latest player to add his name to the list following his double in the derby.
Our most prolific goalscorer away from home is Thierry Henry, who bagged 55 times during his stay in N5, with his last for us being a dramatic late winner at Sunderland in February 2012.
Ian Wright’s 47 away strikes put him second on the list, with Robin van Persie sitting in third place on 45 goals.
Bukayo Saka’s header at Molineux saw him break into the top 10 of our all-time leading scorers away from home.
| Player | Away PL Goals |
|---|---|
| Thierry Henry | 55 |
| Ian Wright | 47 |
| Robin van Persie | 45 |
| Dennis Bergkamp | 41 |

| Bukayo Saka | 25 |
| Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang | 25 |
| Freddie Ljungberg | 25 |
| Robert Pires | 25 |
| Emmanuel Adebayor | 25 |
We’ve netted 13 hat-tricks away from home in the Premier League. Kevin Campbell kicked things off with a trio at Swindon Town in December 1993.
The most recent hat-trick hero was Alexis Sanchez, who scored three times at the London Stadium in our 5-1 win over West Ham in December 2016.
Happy HUNTING GROUNDS
Home might be where the heart is, but we’ve had plenty of joy on the road too. We may have played our last match at Goodison Park, but the former home of Everton is where we’ve been most prolific, with Leandro Trossard netting our 47th and final goal at the famous old ground.
Selhurst Park, where we’ve faced both Crystal Palace and Wimbledon in the Premier League, is narrowly behind on 46. The ground in south east London is level with Villa Park, home of Aston Villa.
| PL Grounds | Goals scored |
|---|---|
| Goodison Park | 47 |
| Selhurst Park | 46 |
| Villa Park | 46 |
| Stamford Bridge | 43 |
| Anfield | 38 |
| Craven Cottage | 36 |
| Upton Park | 34 |
| St. James’ Park | 33 |
| White Hart Lane | 33 |
| Riverside Stadium | 30 |
Our favourite opponents are West Ham United. We’ve netted 60 goals against the Irons across two grounds, with 34 coming at Upton Park and a further 26 at the London Stadium.
Everton (48) and Aston Villa (46) complete the top three. Thanks to our four goals at Tottenham, we’ve now scored 45 times away at our north London rivals, with goals coming at White Hart Lane and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
SEASON BREAKDOWN
Our two biggest victories came in the same season. We defeated West Ham United and Sheffield United 6-0 in the 2023/24 campaign, with the giant wins coming just 22 days apart.
Indeed, the 2023/24 season is our most prolific one the road, with Mikel Arteta’s side netting a whopping 43 goals in 19 away games, the eighth highest recorded in Premier League history. Liverpool hold the record, scoring 48 away goals in the 2013/14 season.
The 2023/24 season eclipsed our previous record of 39, set in the 2010/11 season by Arsene Wenger’s side. After 15 Premier League away games in 2025/26, we’ve scored 25 goals.
