The most goals by a substitute in a single Premier League season as super-sub Sesko strikes again for Man United Benjamin Sesko produced his latest super-sub routine to score as Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3-1 this weekend. The Slovenian has made a habit of scoring from the bench of late, with a series of game-changing moments. Sesko has now scored four goals from the bench this season and is chasing down the Premier League 's all-time record.
The most goals by a substitute in a single Premier League season Christian Benteke - Liverpool, 2015-16 (6) Christian Benteke looked like an odd fit for Liverpool from the moment he pitched up at Anfield. Liverpool spent £32. 5m to sign the big Belgian from Aston Villa , despite his lack of stylistic suitability to Brendan Rodgers' game plan.
Benteke scored nine goals in the Premier League during his sole season with the Reds, of which more than half his appearances (15/29) came from the bench. Jermain Defoe - West Ham, 2001-02 (6) Jermain Defoe holds the record for Premier League goals as a substitute after scoring 24 times off the bench across his career. Defoe's best season for substitute goals came in 2001-02, as the teenager sought to establish himself at West Ham .
A breakout year saw Defoe score 10 times in the Premier League, with six as a substitute. Olivier Giroud - Arsenal, 2016-17 and 2017-18 (6) Olivier Giroud ranks second in the all-time list for goals as a substitute in the Premier League (21), with only Defoe having scored more. Giroud scored 12 of those goals across the 2016-17 and 2017-18 campaigns, when the Frenchman was regularly, and perhaps unfairly, used as a Plan B option.
