The rest were scored by players from foreign countries with Spain, Belgium and France following one another on the list after England. Spanish players scored 78 goals with the likes of Fernando Tores, Michu, Juan Mata and Santi Cazorla on target for their respective clubs. Marouane Fellaini,Eden Hazard and Christian Benteke among many others represent Belgium in the league.

Other less known players like Gael Bigirimana, the Newcastle United midfielder, is from Burundi and he was also on the score sheet.
