The Polish striker has been the find of the season, and after a blistering start had left the competition behind at the early stages. However Piatek has slowed down considerably, and the rest of the league has caught up with him. But he still has the same number of goals as the man who is leading this table.
Piatek started the season by scoring 9 goals in his first 7 games. Yet, since missing out against Juventus, that brought an end to his consecutive scoring spree, and the Polish striker has scored just 1 goal in his last 7 games.

He now has 10 goals from 14 games in the Serie A. Piatek also scored all 4 goals in the third round win over Lecce in the Coppa Italia, which means he has scored 14 goals in 15 games in all competition.
Piatek currently averages a goal every 114 minutes played, and has recorded 45 shots, 20 of which have been on target. At the start of December, the Polish Striker is 2nd among the top contenders for the Serie A Golden Boot.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
