#1 Cristiano Ronaldo – 8 goals

Ronaldo has been in rampant form and despite United’s humiliating showdowns against the higher-ranked teams, it has been Cristiano Ronaldo who has managed to find the back of the net the most number of times. There will, of course, be arguments and counter-arguments that probably the top five may not have heavy names that should be there but at the end of the day, numbers have always had their way of imposing themselves.

#2 Mohammed Salah – 4 goals

Salah has been in the form of his life that has seen him produce a season beyond everyone’s wildest imaginations. With every passing day, the Egyptian marksman has evolved beyond the ordinary and the kind of display that he has posted has left the audience in sheer awe of his captivating brilliance.

#3 Sadio Mane – 4 goals

Mane has been a man on a mission with those vicious runs down the wings and his predatory instinct in the box has transcended him to a whole new level under Juergen Klopp. His shooting has been impeccable and his ubiquity in the attacking third makes him one of the most dangerous customers to be even given an inch of space.

#4 Odsonne Edouard – 4 goals

Surprisingly, the Crystal Palace striker has shown some exemplary command over the ball and has managed to find the back of the net with a handful of seraphic displays. He has ruled the roost with an iron foot and knocked out some crazy belters against the higher-ranked teams.

#5 Diogo Jota

Jota has been an extremely under-appreciated talent but given his command over the ball and his sumptuous first touch, he is also one of the finest game-makers in the current day Premier League. He has bagged 4 goals so far and continues to make his mark in the Premier League table.
