The longest wait for the first Premier League goal of the season is a nuanced discussion, dependent on whether we calculate minutes of play or cumulative minutes.
The record for the longest wait for a goal is held by the 2010-11 season, where the first goal came after 104 minutes of total play.
Peter Beagrie scored the first goal of the 1993-94 season just 10 minutes into the game, representing one of the quickest starts in Premier League history.
Joshua Zirkzee's winner for Manchester United in the 2024-25 season was significant, occurring at 87 minutes and placing him third for the longest wait.
