With the New Year fast approaching, the race for the 2017/2018 top goal scorer of the English Premier League is getting ever exciting, as Mohamed Salah of Liverpool FC extended his lead at the top of the scorers chart.
<hr>
Last season saw Tottenham Fc forward run away with the crown, after bagging 29 goals from 30 matches in the 2016/2017 English premier league campaign. Romelu Lukaku formerly with Everton placed second with 25 goals for the Goodison side in 37 league games.
<hr>
The current 2017/2018 season has seen the arrival of top forwards in the likes of Alvaro Morata (Chelsea FC) and (Mohamed Salah), and both players have been highly instrumental so far, in their team’s surge towards the top of the EPL standings.
<hr>
Mohamed Salah has been inspiring for his Liverpool side this season, likewise other top players like Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Tottenham FC), and Sergio Aguero (Manchester City).
