A STAT FOR MOTTY

52,756 GOALS scored in the English top flight since John Motson’s debut live BBC radio commentary, a 1-0 win for Everton over Derby in December 1969. The first was scored by Alan Ball in that match, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan getting the last in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Watford at the Emirates — Motson’s final live broadcast for Radio 5 Live.
