That's a fact, though.
The great EPL attacking teams actually scored less than the serie A teams in 2008/09 and they scored more last year, mostly due to Chelsea's destroying of some teams (after Ancelotti joined Chelsea)
In total in the last two years the EPL teams scored 1995 goals while the serie A teams 1980 goals.
They score 2.62 goals per match in EPL and 2.60 in serie A.
So in 760 matches the EPL teams scored only 15 goals more than the serie A teams. Either they have amazing goalkeepers in the EPL or they aren't so much more attacking than the Italian teams as the average EPL commentator would like you to believe and guys like Fred will buy it.
And if we go further back...in 2007/08 the EPL teams scored 32 goals more than the serie A teams, in 2006/07 the serie A teams scored 37 goals more than the EPL teams.
Are we living in an illusion?
