Who are the top Premier League scorers in Boxing Day history? Full list

Seven of the Premier League’s 10 highest scorers of all time are also among the most prolific marksmen on Boxing Day fixtures in England’s top flight.

Kane tops Boxing Day scoring charts ahead of Fowler

Former Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane leads the way with 10 goals in seven appearances on 26 December, having overtaken Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler at the head of the standings last season.

Kane netted in a 2-2 draw with Brentford 12 months ago, to maintain his record of having scored every time he has played on Boxing Day.

The England captain, who joined Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in a €100m transfer in the summer, is the second-highest scorer in Premier League history, with 213 goals. Only Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers great Alan Shearer, with 260, is ahead of Kane.

Fowler, who sits eighth on the all-time Premier League list with 163 goals, scored nine times in 10 Boxing Day games, during a career that also saw him turn out for English top-tier clubs Leeds United, Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers.

Shearer, Keane and Henry also in top five

Shearer and Robbie Keane sit joint-third in the Boxing Day charts with eight goals each. Thierry Henry - whose 175 Premier League goals for Arsenal make him the division’s seventh-highest scorer - completes the top five with seven.

Jermain Defoe (six goals on 26 December), Andrew Cole (five) and Frank Lampard (five) are also among the goal-getters who are in both the Premier League’s Boxing Day and overall top 10s.

There are no active players among the league’s 10 most frequent scorers on Boxing Day.

Who has the most Boxing Day appearances?

Lampard, who scored 177 Premier League goals between 1996 and 2015 for West Ham, Chelsea and Manchester City, is the second-highest Boxing Day appearance maker since 1992, with 17. He finished up one behind former Aston Villa, Manchester City, Everton and West Brom midfielder Gareth Barry.
