Among Premier League champions, there are some notable teams whose top scorer has scored fewer than five goals in a season.
The team that comes closest to this record is Everton's 1984-85 side, where only eight players managed more than two league goals between them.
Leeds United in the 1968-69 and 1973-74 seasons also come close. Mick Jones was the top scorer for Leeds with 14 league goals.
In contrast, Arsenal has traditionally had a relatively balanced attack. The club's top scorers have averaged around seven league goals per season since the Premier League era began.
Arsenal's current squad is no exception to this trend. With 40 league goals shared among 13 players, it's clear that goalscoring duties are being spread evenly across the team.

. I mean, who needs a single superstar striker when you've got 13 players chipping in? It's like they're saying, "Hey, we're good with what we've got" 
. And yeah, it's not just about scoring goals, it's about having consistency and reliability throughout the season. That's what makes Arsenal such a formidable team, imo 
.
anyway did u see mikel arteta's press conference the other day? he said something about how they want to spread the load across the team & it's def working so far 
40 goals between 13 players is crazy but i guess it's nice not having that one super star player hogging all the attention 
! I mean, who needs a superstar striker when you've got a balanced attack like Arsenal? 
It's all about depth and teamwork, right? Interesting how Leeds United had those two seasons with only one player scoring more than 14 goals... what was going on back then?
! They don't rely on just one superstar player like some other teams do, which makes them way more stable and less prone to injuries or suspensions. Plus, it's nice to see the team working together seamlessly. I think that's why they're always a top contender in the league. No single player is carrying the whole team on their shoulders

" Their squad looks super spread out, like they're trying to avoid someone getting too many goals and becoming the next Jermain Defoe 
. And can you imagine having a team where everyone's like "oh, I'll just score 3 goals this season, that's okay"? 
Guess that's what happens when you've got a solid squad and good management 
, it shows how well spread out the goals were. But on a different note, arsenal's squad looks super balanced and organized like a perfectly formatted spreadsheet
