Another 33 goals last weekend officially makes this top flight campaign the highest scoring in over 40 years, with a total of 192 Premier League goals so far this season (excluding Monday nights match) at an average of 2.95 goals a game.
It is great news for both armchair fans and spread punters but an entertaining season for most of us usually means a disastrous season for the bookies.
Estimates suggest that punters have scooped around £7million since the start of the new campaign. Buyers of Sporting Indexs goal spreads were in for another treat, particularly those wagering their hard-earned on Sunderlands 5-2 win over Wolves, Liverpools destruction of Hull and Tottenhams five-goal thrashing of Burnley.
Buyers of Robbie Keanes goal minutes spread would have been happy with four scores from Irishman at any point in the game, but three goals in the last 15 minutes and a final make-up of 256 was beyond their wildest dreams.
