Ninety-three countries have had a representative score at least five goals in the Premier League<\/a>. How many can you name?<\/p>\n

When Tomas Soucek<\/a> latched on to Jarrod Bowen<\/a>\u2019s low cross and glanced the ball between Senne Lammens\u2019 legs, the midfielder \u2013 probably unbeknownst to him \u2013 became Czechia\u2019s all-time leading Premier League goalscorer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a pretty niche stat\/record, we\u2019ll grant you that, but it\u2019s no less factual. That goal was his 39th in the Premier League, moving him one ahead of former Liverpool, Portsmouth and Aston Villa midfielder Patrik Berger.<\/p>\n

The goal ended up being cancelled out by Manchester United<\/a>\u2019s Benjamin Sesko<\/a> in a 1-1 draw; coincidentally, he is also the leading Premier League goalscorer for his country, Slovenia. That was his sixth in England\u2019s top flight.<\/p>\n

Soucek\u2019s goal in particular got us thinking about the top scorers of various other nations in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Some of them are obvious. Alan Shearer, for instance, is the all-time leading scorer in the Premier League (260), so that covers off England.<\/p>\n

Then, Mohamed Salah<\/a> (190) doesn\u2019t have much competition from his Egyptian compatriots. Similar could be said of Argentina\u2019s Sergio Ag\u00fcero (184), Thierry Henry of France (175) and Cristiano Ronaldo (103) for Portugal.<\/p>\n

In fact, another country\u2019s leading scorer increased his tally on Wednesday night, as Norway\u2019s Erling Haaland<\/a> netted Manchester City<\/a>\u2019s third in their 3-0 win over Fulham. That took him to 107 Premier League goals, having surpassed Ole Gunnar Solskj\u00e6r earlier this season.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of other more obscure names who hold their country\u2019s particular record, however.<\/p>\n

In total, 93 different countries have had at least one player manage five goals in the Premier League (we\u2019ve gone with 5+ to avoid having the list clogged up lots of very low totals).<\/p>\n

Sixteen of them have their leading scorers currently playing in the division, including Soucek, Haaland and Sesko.<\/p>\n

Reckon you can guess the others? Or, fancy trying to guess as many as you can?<\/p>\n

Well, below you\u2019ll find the complete list of every nation\u2019s top scorer with 5+ Premier League goals\u2026<\/p>\n
