Top Contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot - February 2019

#7 Richarlison (Brazil, Everton)

Huddersfield Town v Everton FC - Premier League

Goals Scored: 10

The Brazilian stays put on the 7th position from last month, narrowly beating Mane to the rank by a better minutes-per-goal ratio. But Richarlison's January was not too pleasing, as he found it hard to put the ball in the back of the net in the new year.

He started from the left against Leicester at the start of the month but failed to score as Everton lost 1-0 at home. Richarlison was used as a Centre Forward in the following game against Bournemouth, and while Everton won 2-0, he still could not find the back of the net. He continued in the Centre Forward position against Southampton, but was largely ineffective again, while his team were defeated again.

It seemed that the Brazilian was entering another lean phase, but things changed at the end of the month as he scored the winner against Huddersfield. Richarlison now has 10 goals from 22 games and is averaging a goal every 181 minutes played. He has attempted 37 shots so far, 21 of which have been on target.
