Premier League top scorers race as Leeds United's Patrick Bamford moves level with Man Utd star

There were question marks over whether Patrick Bamford would be able to deliver in the Premier League, with some suggestions he'd struggle to find the back of the next following promotion from the Championship.

The striker has answered those critics in some style so far this season.

Firing home from the penalty spot to earn Leeds United a 1-0 win over Burnley at Elland Road, Bamford registered his 10th Premier League goal of the season.

Only four players have more goals than Bamford in the league, with today's strike taking him inside the top five scorers alongside Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes.

The duo trail Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jamie Vardy and Son Heung-Min by just one goal and sit a further two behind Mohamed Salah, who is the league's leading scorer with 13.

Here's hop the top scorers chart looks.

1: Mohamed Salah - 13 goals

2: Son Heung-Min - 11 goals

2: Jamie Vardy - 11 goals

2: Dominic Calvert Lewin - 11 goals
