Gary Cahill scored 6 goals for Chelsea during the 2012–13 season.
Cahill was primarily a centre-back, so six goals represented a notable attacking contribution from a defender. He scored across Chelsea’s competitions during a busy campaign that included the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup.
One memorable goal came in Chelsea’s 6–0 League Cup victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on September 25, 2012. Cahill also scored against Danish club Nordsjælland in the Champions League, helping Chelsea win 6–1 at Stamford Bridge in December 2012.
The number can be confused with league-only totals because football statistics are often separated by competition. The figure of six refers to Cahill’s total for Chelsea across the 2012–13 season, rather than only his Premier League goals. Chelsea finished third in the Premier League and won the Europa League that season.
