Erling Haaland leads the race for the Premier League Golden Boot after scoring seven goals in a week.
The record-setting pace from the Manchester City striker continued on Saturday with his side’s only goal in a draw with Aston Villa after his two consecutive hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest respectively.
Aleksandar Mitrovic is his closest contender following another goal for Fulham, this time against Tottenham.
Rodrigo Moreno could not improve on his tally due to injury, allowing Harry Kane and Ivan Toney to overtake him in the standings. The English duo is on five goals apiece, though even those tallies are half of Haaland’s haul.
