We became the third team in the history of the English league to reach 7,000 top-flight goals with our opener against Leeds on Saturday.
Gabriel Martinelli's goal in the 16th minute brought up the milestone, and we follow Everton (7,139 goals) and Liverpool (7,071 goals) to the achievement.
The goal came in our 4,228th game, meaning they have arrived at a rate of 1.66 per game.
