The Premier League Golden Boot race is heating up nicely as we head towards the latter stages of February.
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has overtaken Mohamed Salah with a penalty against West Ham on Wednesday, a goal which kept the champions in pace with league leaders Liverpool.
Harry Kane, who topped the scoring charts in successive campaigns between 2015-17, returned earlier than expected from injury to hit his 15th goal of the season at the weekend by draw a blank against Chelsea.
This allowed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to move up to third this a goalscoring cameo as Arsenal put five past Bournemouth. Sadio Mane added two as Liverpool thumped Watford
