goal machine

Constant net finder

A goal machine is a prolific scorer in football or other sports—a player who produces goals with impressive consistency and volume.

The term treats the player as a reliable mechanism for generating points: With thirty goals this season, she's an absolute goal machine.

Often used in sports commentary and fan discussions to praise elite strikers.
