1. Erling Haaland

With his five goals last night, he hit 79 goals for the Citizens, making him the player with most goals since he moved to England in the summer of 2022. Per PL on X, he is the only player in the league to have five goals in two different games, having scored the same number against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final last year.

2. Mohamed Salah

The Liverpool star has netted 49 times for the Reds since the start of the 2022/23 season. He is far behind Haaland but the best goalscorer in the league, away from the former RB Salzburg striker’s anomaly.

3. Harry Kane

Can we talk about goals in the English top flight and not talk about Harry Kane? He left Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern Munich in August but is still close to the top of the scorer chart. He netted 36 goals in all competitions last season.

4. Ollie Watkins

The English forward has found a new life since the arrival of Unai Emery, who took over at Aston Villa on October 22 and has scored 35 times in that period. Per Transfermarkt, he is the only player with double digits in goals and assists so far.

4. Marcus Rashford

The Manchester United forward was in blistering form after the Qatar 2022 World Cup and was pivotal to helping the club break their six-year trophy drought. He scored 35 since the start of the 2022/23 season and would have been more if he had not lost form this season.
