Why is it raining goals in the English Premier League?

Perhaps Wim Wenders should update his 1972 film, The Goalkeeper’s Fear of the Penalty. It was a cult classic but now its title seems dated. With scoring levels, before yesterday, at a 41-year high, how about The Goalkeeper’s Fear of the Premier League? Consider the poor keepers. In August and September 6-1 was as common a Premier League result as 0-0 and for the first time in 10 seasons there was more scoring per game than in La Liga and Serie A. It is not quite 1960-61, when a team (Newcastle) could be relegated despite scoring 86 times, but strikers haven’t had it so good since before man landed on the moon.
