Statistics from all 135 Championship matches in the 2020-2021 season: 380 goals in total, an average of 2.81 per match, with the first goal arriving after 31.3 minutes on average.

When goals are scored

380 goals across the 122 matches that produced one, placed by the minute each was scored. The busiest stretch is 75-90, with 20% of them. 23.2% arrive from the 75th minute on, and 3.2% in stoppage time at the end.

0-1549 · 12.9%
15-3048 · 12.6%
30-4560 · 15.8%
45+21 · 5.5%
46-6049 · 12.9%
60-7565 · 17.1%
75-9076 · 20.0%
90+12 · 3.2%

Blue is the first half, grey the second, amber the two stoppage-time bins. Minutes are as recorded: first-half stoppage counts as 45+, and anything after 90 as 90+.

46.8% of goals come before half time. That figure counts first-half stoppage time, which is where most published numbers go wrong: goals in added time at the end of the half are recorded as minutes 46, 47 and 48, so cutting the match at minute 45 pushes them into the second half and gives 41.3% instead — out by 5.5 points.

First Goal Timing

Across 135 matches the first goal arrived after 31.3 minutes on average. The histogram shows when the opening goal was scored, in three-minute bins, including matches with no goal at all.
