With another captivating Premier League season over, we look at the records set across the competition in 2023/24.
Goals records

Substitutes scored 159 goals this season, surpassing the previous record of 132 that was set in the last campaign.
The three hat-tricks scored on 2 September by Son Heung-min, Erling Haaland and Evan Ferguson were the joint-most ever on a single day in the Premier League, after 23 September 1995 when Alan Shearer, Robbie Fowler and Tony Yeboah each struck trebles.
Oli McBurnie’s equalising penalty for Sheffield United against West Ham United in January was timed at 102:08, the latest Premier League goal on record since 2006/07. It eclipsed Dirk Kuyt’s 102nd-minute penalty for Liverpool against Arsenal in April 2011.
