10 instances where a team scored 100+ goals in a League season
The team that scores most number of goals on that particular day wins the match, but scoring most number of goals in a league does not win you the championship. More often than not, one would assume that when a team scores 100+ goals in a season, the league is won. Generalising this assumption would be foolish. Scoring 100+ goals is an achievement in itself, but the objective is not fulfilled.Here’s a look at some of the instances that happened lately where a team has scored goals in excess of hundred.
