All three were on target yet again at the weekend.

Mo Salah and Erling Haaland with a goal each, whilst Alexander Isak still narrowed the gap by getting two at Southampton.

Looking at these top Premier League goalscoring stats below on the BBC Sport site, interesting to dig a little deeper…

These are the top goalscoring Premier League players to have scored more than 15 PL goals so far and how they compare on these three underlying metrics when it comes to goals scored/threat:

19 Mo Salah – Average of 102 minutes per goal, average of 0.88 goals per 90 minutes, 22% goal conversion (19 goals from a total of 86 shots)

18 Erling Haaland – Average of 113 minutes per goal, average of 0.80 goals per 90 minutes, 20% goal conversion (18 goals from a total of 91 shots)

17 Alexander Isak – Average of 101 minutes per goal, average of 0.89 goals per 90 minutes, 27% goal conversion (17 goals from a total of 63 shots)

In the three three underlying Premier League metrics, Alexander Isak superior to both Mo Salah and Erling Haaland in all three.
