JonnyG: You didn't answer any of the questions on my post.

If you scraped all the data on there. You would have every game played in all leagues with the exact goal times.
From the above data you could then do some formulas in excel to show the amount of games where the home team scored first, games where teams have fought back after going 1-0 down. You could easily get the average goals per BPL game for a season (or all seasons)

when you say easy ?

how easy ?

can you tell me for example what is the average goal production since 2011-2012 in games where the home team in the PL opened the scoring on 8 minutes ?

welshboy will be back in 2027 with that answer

Apologies, I have a full time job and other commitments so its not always easy for me to provde a point.

Well the answer to that question is 3.5gls (Total goals / Total Games)

Since the 2011-2012 season, the amount of games where the Home team scored first and the First goal was scored On or Before the 8th minute...
Total Games: 84 Total Goals: 294 Average Goals: 3.5
Min Goals: 1
Max Goals: 9

Link to the thread where I've posted all the Goal data for BPL Seasons 2004-2005 to 2016-2017
