#6 Wissam Ben Yedder (France, Sevilla FC)
Goals Scored - 8
The Frenchman has scored just 1 goal since our last assessment, but a better goals per game ratio sees him climb up the ranks from 7th at the start of December to 6th here.
After scoring against Alaves, Ben Yedder drew a blank against Valencia and Girona. However, the stage was set for him to end the year on a high. Against Leganes in the last game of the year, Sevilla were a goal down as early as the 5th minute. Their miseries compounded at the stroke of half-time, when Franco Vazquez was shown a straight red.
Sevilla tried their best in the second half but found it hard to break down a resolute Leganes defence. When it looked like they were destined for their 4th defeat of the season in the league, Ben Yedder scored in the first minute of injury time and earned them a valuable away point.
The Frenchman now has 8 goals from 14 games and is averaging a goal every 127 minutes. He has registered 30 shots so far, 14 of which have been on target. At the start of January, Ben Yedder is 6th in the race to the La Liga Golden Boot.
