Scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in football. Bar none.
Some footballers are brilliant at it (Erling Haaland), some are bloody terrible at it (Jamie Carragher – he scored three goals in 508 Premier League appearances for God’s sake), and ultimately their proficiency in front of goal can be a determining factor in their team’s league fortunes year in, year out.
So, in the midst of the November international break – which we’re all enjoying, right? – we at 90min decided to take a look at how good each Premier League team has been at converting their chances so far this season – ranked from least chances missed to most.
