Premier League penalties: The top five clubs awarded the most spot-kicks in EPL history

Barring this term, 2009/10 and the 1992/93 campaign, the Magpies have played in every other Premier League season and, as such, have been awarded their fair share of penalties. The club's record goal scorer Alan Shearer (pictured) tucked away plenty of those spot-kicks – the former Newcastle captain had an 84% success rate, according to local paper the Chronicle. Aleksandar Mitrovic (two) and Georginio Wijnaldum (one) scored Newcastle’s spot-kicks last season, but the Tynesiders suffered the ultimately penalty for a poor season – relegation.
