Premier League Records That Have Never Been Broken

From all time goals to 100 point seasons and lightning fast hat tricks, these are the Premier League records unbroken, the Premier League all time records, and the game’s greatest achievements that may never be beaten.

The Premier League has been running for over 30 years and in that time a handful of records have been set that look genuinely untouchable. Some are the product of a single extraordinary season, while others have been accumulating since most current players were even born. 

These are the Premier League all-time records that define the competition, the Premier League’s greatest records that may never be surpassed, and a look at which Premier League records unbroken today are most likely to fall next.

Alan Shearer's 260 Premier League goals: will anyone get close?

Alan Shearer scored 260 Premier League goals across his career for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, a record that has stood since 2006. Haaland, with 107 goals from 124 games at his current rate, would need approximately 177 more games to break it, roughly five more seasons in the Premier League.

The key caveat is staying power. Harry Kane's move to Bayern Munich left him 47 goals short at 213, ending what had seemed like the most credible challenge. Haaland is the only active player who can realistically threaten Shearer's record, but he would need to remain in the Premier League through his late twenties and stay largely injury-free. Any move to Spain or elsewhere and the record is safe for another generation.

Manchester City's 100-point season: an impossible record?

Manchester City became the first and only top-flight team to reach 100 points when Gabriel Jesus scored a stoppage-time winner in the 2017-18 season. The previous best was Chelsea's 95 points in 2004-05. Since then, Liverpool won the league with 99 points in 2019-20 and City themselves reached 98 the following year.

Three teams have come within five points of the record, but none have matched it. The 100-point mark requires winning 31 of 38 games, something that demands a level of consistency that even City at their peak could only sustain for one season. Arsenal finished 2025-26 as champions on 85 points, which puts the scale of City's 2017-18 achievement into context. A truly impressive achievement. 

Erling Haaland's 36-goal season: a new benchmark

Thierry Henry's 30 Premier League goals for Arsenal in 2003-04 stood as the benchmark for a generation. Only Kevin Phillips, Robin van Persie and Harry Kane have reached that mark in a 38-game season, but Erling Haaland broke through that ceiling entirely, scoring a record 36 in 2022-23. That is now the record to beat, and no player has come within ten goals of it since.

At 0.86 goals per game, Haaland's 2022-23 season redefined what was considered possible from a Premier League striker. Whether anyone ever matches it depends on finding a player of similar quality in a City-like system, something that has only happened once in 30 years of the competition.

The fastest Premier League hat-trick

The record belongs to Sadio Mané, who scored three goals in two minutes and 56 seconds for Southampton against Aston Villa on 16 May 2015. He broke Robbie Fowler's record of four minutes and 33 seconds against Arsenal in August 1994.

Under three minutes for a hat-trick requires a very specific combination of circumstances. A goalkeeper coming off their line, a defence in disarray, and a striker on the right side of the ball at the right moment three times in succession. Mané himself was barely aware he had set it until the referee told him.

Most consecutive clean sheets in a season

Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar kept 14 consecutive Premier League clean sheets between November 2008 and February 2009, going 1,311 minutes without conceding. The run finally ended when Peter Løvenkrands scored for Newcastle United on 4 March 2009.

No goalkeeper has come close in the years since. The record requires not just individual brilliance but a defensive structure capable of suppressing chances across 14 consecutive matches, each one adding pressure.

Which record is most likely to fall in the next decade?

Shearer's goals record is the most likely to fall, purely because Haaland has the ability and the ambition. The 100 point record would require either City to reach that level again or another club to achieve something no English team has managed in the history of the game.

The fastest hat-trick, the clean sheet streak and the 25 clean sheet season all depend on very specific conditions aligning perfectly. Of those three, the clean sheet streak is probably the most likely to go, but it needs one exceptional goalkeeper in one exceptional team across a concentrated period. That combination has happened before, and it could happen again.
