5. Andy Cole (83)
Andy Cole was one of the finest strikers in the league. He had also won the Golden Boot back in the 1992-93 season, scoring 34 goals in 40 Premier league matches.
However his most successful period came with Manchester United. The Red Devils signed him for a fee of £6.25m, which was a record back then.
During that period, Cole managed to score a staggering 83 away goals in the Premier League. His most memorable moment came in United's thrashing of Ipswich in 1995, when he scored five goals.
4. Frank Lampard (85)
