Chelsea goals in 2024/25 – who, how and when they were scored

In our 120th year, it was fitting that Enzo Maresca's Chelsea side scored 120 goals in all competitions. Here we provide the data behind each one, as well as those chalked off and conceded…

These were our top five goalscorers in all competitions:

Cole Palmer 15 (3 pens)

Christopher Nkunku 14 (4 pens)

Nicolas Jackson 13

Noni Madueke 11

Enzo Fernandez 8

Our remaining goalscorers: Marc Cucurella 7, Joao Felix 7, Marc Guiu 6, Pedro Neto 6, Jadon Sancho 5, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 4, Tosin Adarabioyo 4, Mykhailo Mudryk 3, Moises Caicedo 2, Levi Colwill 2, Axel Disasi 2, Tyrique George 2, Reece James 2, Renato Veiga 2, own goals 5

After Newcastle (H), Jackson became the fifth-fastest to reach 20 Premier League goals (44 games) for the club. Only Diego Costa (26), Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (27), Cole Palmer (33), and Mark Stein (37) have reached the total quicker.

The Senegal international is the 32nd different player to score 20 goals in the competition for the Blues.

Palmer had 23 Premier League goal contributions this season. He is the first Chelsea player to be directly involved in 20+ goals in back-to-back top-flight campaigns since Eden Hazard in his first three seasons at the club.

Since the start of the 2023/24 season, Jackson and Palmer have combined for more Premier League goals than any other duo (12).

In the competition’s history, only four pairs of players have combined for more Chelsea goals than Jackson and Palmer. They are Didier Drogba & Frank Lampard (36), Cesc Fabregas & Diego Costa (14), Didier Drogba & Nicolas Anelka (13) and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Eidur Gudjohnsen (13).

A total of 18 goals were netted from outside the box, with 72 of the 120 coming in open play.

The most common period in which we found the net was the 15 minutes after half-time (26 goals), followed by the 15 minutes after that (21 goals).

We conceded 59 goals, letting in ten each between minutes 31 to 45, 46 to 60, and 76 to 90.
