Which question do you think is correct? (I've given you two big hints.)

Wow! OK, I guess my hints didn't work. I changed the word "Which" to red in your original post and in my response so that you would notice them. I thought that would be enough to prompt you to say that "which" is the correct word. I need to work on my hints!

Option 2 is correct.

You can say the most goals or the highest number of goals. You can't combine the phrases.
