The Premier League has come a long way since Brian Deane scored the first goal in the rebranded division in 1992. Money has come in and become king, so it was perhaps fitting that a player on wages of around £300,000 per week scored the 25,000th goal in the league 24 years later. Zlatan Ibrahimovic doing the honours for Manchester United.

Zlatan’s response?: “I thought it was me who had scored 25,000.” He’s actually scored six in the Premier League. Only 24,994 to go Zlatan!
