Jamie Vardy

Jamie Vardy has continued his prolific scoring run in the English Premier League since Leicester City won the 2015-16 Premier League title.

In the ongoing season, the English striker scored a hat-trick against Southampton in the midst of an eight-game scoring run - the longest in the English top-flight since Vardy himself in Leicester City's title-winning season.

Vardy's 17 goals are the most scored by a Premier League player in the 2019-20 season, one goal clear of Manchester City's Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero who has scored 16 goals this season.

Timo Werner's rich vein of form has been instrumental in Leipzig taking the numero uno spot in the German top-flight after 19 games of the ongoing 2019-20 Bundesliga season.

The 23-year-old striker has scored hat-tricks against Borussia Monchengladbach and FSV Mainz 05 as he joined Robert Lewandowski as the second player to hit the 20-goal mark after 18 matchdays of the ongoing 2019-20 season.

20 - For the first time in #Bundesliga history, two players (Robert Lewandowski and Timo Werner) have hit the 20 goal mark after 18 matchdays of a season. Previously, only Gerd Müller had reached this mark, in 1968-69 (20 goals) and in 1972-73 (21). Brace. pic.twitter.com/vSNqlsB6hJ

Werner's prolific scoring form makes him a contender to challenge Robert Lewandowski for the season's top-scorer honours.
