PL Clubs With Most Penalties This Season as Man City Leads Line with 9, Man United Last

• Manchester City leads the line in terms of most penalties awarded this season
• The Citizens latest spot kick was given on April 30 against Fulham
• Their neighbors Manchester United have been awarded the least number of penalties this season

One mark of a team with attacking intent is the number of penalties they accrue in a single season.

It takes some effort to make things happen in the opposition box for the referee to award a spot kick, and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have been doing that with relative ease.

Their latest 3-0 win over West Ham on Wednesday, May 3 summed up their dominance in the league, with Erling Haaland bagging his 51st goal across all competitions.

Haaland came up with a sublime chip over Lukasz Fabianski with a goal that took his overall tally to 35 goals in the league, a new record according to BBC.
