Fernando Torres (2009) – 72 matches

However, his six-game goalless streak meant the Egyptian missed the chance to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League record to reach the 50-goal mark with a single club in the shortest amount of matches. The former England star took 66 matches to achieve the feat while at Blackburn.
