Luis Suarez Sets Record For Goals Scored In A Month by kodedmag(m): 6:19pm On Dec 21, 2013
With his two goals in the 3-1 victory
over Cardiff City at Anfield, Liverpool
striker became the first player to
score 10 goals in a calendar month in
the Barclays Premier League.
The Uruguayan's opening strike at
Anfield took him clear of Mark
Viduka's record of eight goals for
Leeds United in April 2003. Suarez
then struck another to be the first
player to reach double figures inside a
month. The double also meant he
becomes the first player to score at
two goals in four consecutive
Barclays Premier League matches.
WIth two more Barclays Premier
League fixtures to come in December,
against Manchester City on Boxing
Day, then away to Chelsea on 29
December, Suarez could extend his
record even further.
Suarez's total of 19 goals in the
Barclays Premier League this season
is the most at this stage of a season
and it is also putting the striker ahead
of the rate to become the highest
goalscorer during a 38-match
season. This joint-record of 31 goals
is held by Alan Shearer for Blackburn
Rovers in the 1995/96 season and
Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester
United during the 2007/08 season.
After 17 matchweeks, Shearer had
scored 16 goals, while Ronaldo had
11.
The overall record for the most goals
in a season is held jointly by Andrew
Cole, for Newcastle United in 1993/94
and Shearer, the next season. At his
present rate of goals, Suarez is set to
eclipse those records, too.
The goal for Raheem Sterling that
Suarez set up against Cardiff took the
Uruguayan's total of assists to six
this season, one more than he got in
the previous campaign.
Suarez's December goals so far
1 December v Hull City (a) - 0 goals
4 December v Norwich City (h) - 4
goals
7 December v West Ham United (h) -
2 goals
15 December v Tottenham Hotspur
(a) - 2 goals
21 December vs Cardiff (h) - 2 goals. thanks
