The Premier League has had its fair share of consistent goalscorers over the years. It is also the most competitive league in the world. Hence, it is very difficult to score a large number of goals, but to score consistently in away matches is more demanding. The high pressure and hostile environment of away stadiums plays an influential role on teams. Only a few players have managed to score away goals consistently in the Premier League.
Here are the top five players with most away goals in the Premier League.
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)
Chelsea signed Frank Lampard from West Ham during the 2001-02 season. The transfer turned out to be a great bargain because Lampard went on to achieve wonders in his career. The midfielder won numerous trophies with Chelsea and was also an honourable captain of the club.
The England international is regarded as one of the best midfielders to grace the Premier League. Lampard is also arguably Chelsea's best player ever and is also their top scorer with 211 goals. He also amassed 85 away goals in the Premier League as well.
3. Alan Shearer (87)

2. Wayne Rooney (94)
