The battle for the highest goal scorer in the English Premier League has also gathered quite a bit

Arsenal 71, Liverpool 71, and Manchester City 70 points in the points table. At the end of 31 matches, the points of the top three teams in the English Premier League are separated by only 1 point.  Who knows who will laugh at the end of such a three-way title fight?

Just like the exciting title fight, another fight has gathered in this year’s Premier League. That battle is personal—the battle to be the top scorer.  While three teams remain in the rat race to win the league, 10 remain rivals in the battle to be the top goal scorer. The gap between number ten and the highest scorer is only five goals.

Erling Haaland became the top scorer with 36 goals on his Premier League debut last season. Manchester City’s Norwegian striker was tipped to be the top scorer midway through the league.

It is Haaland who has scored the most goals so far.  However, Haaland’s goal in seven matches has not yet reached 20. He participated in 25 games and scored 19 goals this time. With 18 goals in 31 games, Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins is putting serious pressure on Holland. The English striker last season in the Premier League scored fifteen goals.

Mohamed Salah, who was the top scorer three times before, is in third place with 17 goals. Liverpool’s Egyptian forward has played 25 matches this time.  Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke are joint fourth with 16 goals. English midfielder Palmer’s total goals in his Premier League career are 16. On the other hand, English forward Solanki was able to take the number of goals to double digits for the first time.

The other five top scorers in the top 10 are Jarrod Bowen, Alexander Isak, Son Heung-min, Phil Foden, and Bukayo Saka. The first three of them scored 15 goals, and the last two scored 14 goals.
