Top Contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot - February 2019

#8 Sadio Mane (Senegal, Liverpool)

Liverpool FC v Crystal Palace - Premier League

Goals Scored: 10

The Senegalese has moved one place from 9th at the start of January to 8th here, thanks to a decent showing in the last month. He is one of the 6 men who are tied on 10 goals in this list, but a lesser goals per minute ratio sees him ranked lower.

Sadio Mane started the month on a disappointing note, as he failed to score against Manchester City, who ended Liverpool's unbeaten run by defeating them 2-1. He failed to score in the following game as well, as Liverpool overcame Brighton with a 1-0 scoreline.

Following two barrens runs from the left, Klopp shifted the Senegalese to the right wing for Crystal Palace. It worked for the team, as Mane scored a goal and Liverpool won 4-3. He continued on the right in the next game as well and gave his team an early lead against Leicester, but Maguire equalized as the game ended 1-1.

With 10 goals from 22 games, Mane is 8th in the race to the Premier League Golden Boot at the start of February. He is averaging a goal every 185 minutes played and has attempted 45 shots, 26 of which have been on target.
