Top 10 Premier League goalscorer-assist combinations of all time

Football is a team game, but every so often, there are players and partnerships that shine through and define the qualities of a team. It is well documented in the “BBC” at Real Madrid and previously “MAX” at Barcelona. The Premier League this season has churned out few combinations that are hard to ignore.Cesc Fabregas has made a league highest 16 assists so far this season. Diego Costa has been at the end of six of those assists to convert them into goals. This partnership won many plaudits at the beginning of the season. Despite a dip in form for Fabregas and injury troubles for Costa, they are statistically still the Premier League’s most lethal scorer-assist combination.While the Costa-Fabregas combination leads the pack, the creative Spaniard is joint second as well – assisting Eden Hazard on four occasions. Tottenham Hotspurs’ Harry Kane-Nacer Chadli and Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson-Raheem Sterling combination join the Chelsea pair on second having successfully combined four times this season.There have been a number of partnerships through EPL history that will forever be treasured. We take a look back through nearly 23 seasons of the Premier League at the most successful creative combinations.

#10 Robin van Persie-Theo Walcott

According to Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie often complained about him not passing enough and being an individual player. Yet, among the ten most prolific scorer-assist duo is this Arsenal duo of the Dutchman and English speedster.

In his 8 years at Arsenal, the van Persie found the back of the net 96 times in the Premier League. Walcott was directly involved in setting up 14 of those goals. They went on to play together for an long injury afflicted time and despite the tiffs and injuries, they contributed to each other’s play.

By no means are they the only Arsenal combination on this list but they are among the memorable ones.
