The Goal Rush was a live ITV television programme that aired from 2001 to 2003, produced by Granada Television.[1] The programme was broadcast on Saturdays as a rival show to Final Score on BBC One, and provided live football scores from the Premier League and The Football League. Coverage began on ITV2 and then continued on ITV1. The programme was presented by Angus Scott.[2]

ITV ran the programme across two and a half of the three seasons that it held the rights to show Premiership highlights. After the rights were lost, The Goal Rush was axed, and the final edition was aired on 20 December 2003.
