Richard Dunne has the most Premier League own goals with 10, according to official statistics as of 15 September 2026.
The record holder
Dunne stands alone at the top of the all-time list. A Premier League official article in 2018 also identified him as the own-goal record holder and said those goals came while he was playing for Everton, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers.
All-time Premier League own-goal table
The official historical statistics set out the current standings clearly.
| Rank | Player | Own goals |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Richard Dunne | 10 |
| 2 | Jamie Carragher | 7 |
| 2 | Lewis Dunk | 7 |
| 2 | Phil Jagielka | 7 |
| 2 | Martin Skrtel | 7 |
| 6 | Wes Brown | 6 |
| 6 | Séamus Coleman | 6 |
| 6 | Jonny Evans | 6 |
| 6 | Ryan Shawcross | 6 |
| 6 | Frank Sinclair | 6 |
The shape of the table matters as much as the headline name. There is a clear gap between first place and the next group, and the chase pack is split across a tie rather than one direct runner-up.
Why Dunne keeps coming up in official coverage
The record is backed by more than one official reference point. The Premier League named Dunne as the record holder in 2018, and another official article in February 2025 said Lewis Dunk had reached his seventh own goal while adding that only Dunne had scored more.
