According to our friends at Opta, Victor Moses's goal for Wigan against West Brom was his 46th shot of the season. No other player had taken as many consecutive shots without scoring. It's also worth noting that Moses hadn't scored since netting against West Brom 13 months ago.

Opta have given us the stats for the last two seasons and the current Premier League player who has now had the most consecutive shots in that time without scoring is Steven Pienaar. The Tottenham midfielder has had 43 shots since his last Premier League goal, which was scored for Everton against Manchester United in a 3-3 draw last September. However, he is yet to play in the top flight this term.

Next on the list is QPR winger Shaun Wright-Phillips, who has had 42 shots in the last two seasons without scoring. He has had 36 attempts so far this season and no other player has had that many shots this term without scoring a goal.

Most consecutive shots in the PL without scoring since the start of 2010/11 (current PL players only):

1. Steven Pienaar (43)
2. Shaun Wright-Phillips (42)
3. Cameron Jerome (39) :shock:
4. Tim Cahill (37) :shock: :shock:
5. Michael Essien (35)
6. Stewart Downing (33)
7. Lee Cattermole (30)
8. Adel Taarabt (29)
9. Lucas (28)
10. Thomas Rosicky (28)

The stat is misleading though. Why does it matter if they scored in the league or not, a goal is a goal in regards to form. Pienaar scored this week for isntance.
