The goalscoring record for a 20-team Premier League season has already been broken and we're still in April - BBC Sport looks at the reasons why.

Even with 44 matches still to be played, the goalscoring record for a 20-team Premier League season has already been broken.

In Manchester United's game Harry Maguire's equaliser was the Premier League's 1,085th goal of the season, taking it past the 38-game record of 1,084, which had only been set last term. England's refereeing body the PGMOL is using longer amounts of stoppage time this season as part of a directive from Ifab, football's lawmakers, in a move aimed at tackling time-wasting.

There have been 93 penalties awarded this season at a rate of 0.28 per game - a 0.02 increase on last year.
