That number feels...low?
Assuming most players that come through the club score at least one goal at the Emirates, over the course of 17 years, I would've thought it'd be more like 125-150. Idk.
Came here to say this. It works out about 6 or 7 different home scorers a season.
Sure, but 6-7 new scorers per season is actually a reasonable number. It's not that often you see someone score their "first goal at the Emirates".
This number gets higher mainly by new signings or academy players starting to play with the first team, plus the occasional fringe player who gets a goal (like that Coquelin goal).
Also, if you think of players who scored a lot for us, like Alexis, RVP, Auba, etc., the all count as one each.
101 with jorginho scoring his first, not that that makes it loads more but still
Defenders tend to not score much, and around half the games Arsenal plays aren't at home, so that doesn't help.
