Here’s why already relegated Sheffield United made unwanted history in the Premier League

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Sheffield United made unwanted history Saturday.

By scoring in the 31st minute at Everton, Sheffield United became the first team to score 101 goals in a single Premier League season.

The bottom-placed Blades had equaled a record 100 goals conceded with Swindon, who did so in the 1993-94 season. That, however, was in a 42-game season when the league had 22 teams instead of the current 20.

Sheffield United were already assured of relegation before traveling to Goodison Park.
