As 2023 comes to a close, it's a time when many people are reflecting on the feats achieved at their football club over the last 12 months. And the year started with Erling Haaland hurtling beyond the 20-goal mark in his first Premier League season on the way to a new record of 36 strikes in the top flight.
There were 13 other players who made it to the 20 barrier by the end of 2022-23, but don't bet on too many doing the same in 2023-24. After all, it's a rare feat. Want proof? Here it is! Here's the list of the current 92 clubs across the Premier League and Football League in order of their most recent scorer of 20 league goals.
