Top Contenders for the La Liga Golden Boot - February 2019

#5 Wissam Ben Yedder (France, Sevilla FC)

Sevilla v FC Barcelona - Copa del Rey Quarter Final

Goals Scored - 10

The Frenchman started the year on a high, scoring in the 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the first game after the winter break. However, he drew a blank in the next 2 games, and Sevilla lost both games to Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid. Last weekend, he scored one goal as Sevilla put 5 past Levante at home.

Ben Yedder now has 10 goals from 18 appearances in the league and is averaging a goal every 136 minutes played. His goals per game ratio is 0.56 and he has recorded 35 shots so far, 18 of which have been on target. His recent change in fortune has seen him jump up one places in the rankings at the start of this month. He is currently 5th among the contenders for the La Liga Golden Boot, but will need to step up his efforts if he hopes to catch the leaders
