The Premier League Golden Boot race is looking tight this season as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang moved ahead of Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane on Boxing Day.
Salah won last season's Golden Boot and went top of the standings by virtue of assists (six) with a goal in Liverpool's 4-0 win over Newcastle - a result which sent the Reds six points clear at the top of the table.
Kane netted in Spurs' 5-0 victory against Bournemouth to join Salah and Aubameyang on 12 goals, but the Arsenal striker netted in Arsenal's late 1-1 draw at Brighton to go top once again.
Meanwhile, Eden Hazard has snuck up the rankings after a brace in Chelsea's 2-1 win at Watford sent the Belgian into double figures with 10 for the 2018-19 campaign so far.
