The attacking duos with the most Premier League goal combinations

The Premier League has seen some fantastic strike partnerships over the years – but which one was the most fruitful?

Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton famously fired Blackburn Rovers to the title in 1994-95 and Dwight Yorke seemed to have a telepathic partnership with Andy Cole at Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney also linked up brilliantly at Old Trafford while Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge were a deadly double act for Liverpool.

But none of these players make the final list as we’ve taken a look at the five duos with the most goal combinations in Premier League history.

Anderton and Sheringham both joined Tottenham in the summer of 1992 and they developed an almost telepathic partnership at White Hart Lane.

Sheringham managed to score 97 Premier League goals during his two stints at Spurs and Anderton directly set up 20 of those strikes.

But the duo were also able to switch roles and seven of Anderton’s Premier League goals at Tottenham were created by his fellow England international.

“Every now and again, you come across people that understand how you play and accommodate you perfectly,” Sheringham told Stats Perform in 2021. “Not everyone gets on that wavelength, but I definitely had it with Darren Anderton.

“Maybe it’d be a little signal or an eye contact, but he would understand exactly where I wanted the ball.

“That’s one thing understanding it, and there’s another thing putting it exactly where it’s needed to be. He was unbelievable at that.

“People ask me who my favourite players are that I played with. He’s out there in the top three because he was phenomenal at putting the ball exactly where I wanted. He was a feeder.

“I was the goalscorer at Tottenham, and I made a few for him as well.”
