Major goalscoring milestone hit with Richarlison's consolation at the Bridge

Richarlison's consolation goal in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Chelsea was our 2,000th goal in the Premier League.

Coming with just over 15 minutes left to play at Stamford Bridge, Richy was in the right place at the right time to send home Pape Matar Sarr's inventive back heel and give us new hope having trailed 2-0.

While the goal saw a milestone reached in the competition though, it paled into insignificance as we were unable to find another in the final minutes and take what would have been a very, very valuable point from west London...

2,000 Premier League goals

Since the establishment of the Premier League back in 1992, we have now scored 2,000 goals in the competition - the fifth side to do so in the history of the league.

We scored our first Premier League goal on 22 August, 1992, with Gordon Durie opening the scoring in a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane.

Goal number 500 came nine years later as Les Ferdinand also scored an opener as we drew 1-1 with Aston Villa at Villa Park in December, 2001.

We hit goal number 1000 a decade later with Jermain Defoe on target in a 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion at the Lane in April, 2011.

Our 1,500th goal then came in November, 2018, as Juan Foyth scored his first goal for the Club to see us to a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace.

Richy's strike at the Bridge has now sees us reach the milestone of 2,000 goals scored in the Premier League.

It sees him up to 12 goals for the campaign with 11 of them coming in the Premier League - his joint-best goalscoring campaign for us. He is now on 75 career Premier League goals with 27 them coming for us in 101 appearances.
