These are the five strikers with the lowest minutes-to-goal ratios in Premier League history:

5) Robin van Persie (Arsenal and Manchester United – 135 mins)

Dutch striker Robin van Persie has been one of the most prolific strikers in the Premier League for quite some time, finding the back of the net every 135 minutes for Arsenal and Manchester United.

4) Javier Hernandez (Manchester United – 130 mins)

Despite having been allowed to leave on loan for Real Madrid following criticism of his all-round game, the goalscoring record of Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez is exemplary, with the Mexican scoring every 130 minutes.

3) Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United – 128 mins)

Yet another Manchester United goalscoring icon, Ruud van Nistelrooy was the most feared striker in the Premier League during his time at Old Trafford, bagging himself a goal every 128 minutes.

2) Thierry Henry (Arsenal – 122 mins)

A genuine legend as far as Arsenal are concerned, Frenchman Thierry Henry became a lethal centre forward once he had been converted from a winger by Arsene Wenger, scoring every 122 minutes before moving on to Barcelona then New York.

1) Sergio Aguero (Manchester City – 114 mins)

The only thing that is stopping Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero from becoming unquestionably the best forward in the Premier League is the regularity with which he gets injured – the former Atletico man’s 114 minute ratio is stunning.
