In Saturday's impressive 2-0 win at Manchester City, we scored our 850th away goal in the Premier League.

As we produced a professional and commanding performance at the Etihad Stadium, we struck our 849th and 850th goals on the road to become just the fifth side in the history of the competition to reach the landmark figure (also Manchester United (1040), Arsenal (976), Liverpool (975) and Chelsea (937)).

Our first away goal in the Premier League came in competition's first month as Jason Cundy scored a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town in August, 1992.

We have now scored a total of 1958 goals in the Premier League, 1108 coming at home while 850 have come on the road.

In terms of our record at our various Premier League opponents across the years, we hold the best goalscoring record in visits to Hull City. On our trips to their ground, now known as the MKM Stadium, we have scored 17 goals there across five visits (3.4 goals per game), which includes a 7-1 win there in May, 2017.

Against just one other team in the competition do we hold a record of at least three goals per game on our trips to face them - that is Huddersfield Town (six goals in two visits - three goals per game).

We have a record of at least two goals per game against another three teams - Bradford City, Cardiff City and Swansea City.

Against all bar one of the 50 teams to ever played in the competition we hold a record of at least one goal per game. The only team we have not managed that against is now Championship side Portsmouth. In the south coast side's time in the top flight, we only scored six goals in seven visits to Fratton Park.

We have scored the most goals on the road at Everton having scored 58 goals at Goodison Park in the top flight since 1992. Saturday's opponents Manchester City come in a close second with 55.

Incredibly, despite visiting the likes of Barnsley, Blackpool, Luton Town and Swindon Town just once in the top flight, we have scored on the road at every one of our 50 Premier League opponents to date.
