Our review of the season just completed continues with a breakdown of the goals scored by the Blues over the course of the campaign, and those conceded, too…
In total, Chelsea netted 99 times in 2020/21. From those, these were our top five goalscorers in all competitions:
Of the 99 goals, just under half - 49 in total - were scored with a right foot, 15 were left-footers, 4 headers and one chest.
A total of 5 goals were scored from outside the penalty area, including Reece James's thunderbolt above.
The most common quarter-of-an-hour period for Chelsea to score during the 90 minutes was between 76 to 90 minutes when 18 goals were scored. The least common was in the first 15 minutes of a game when 10 goals were scored.
At the other end of the pitch, the Blues let in 43 goals in all competitions over the course of the season. We were most vulnerable in the middle of the first half, with 9 conceded between 16 and 30 minutes.
