Premier League top scorers 2017-18: Salah moves clear of Kane

Kane surged into the lead in the final week of 2017 after bagging back-to-back hat-tricks against Burnley and Southampton, but he now looks set to relinquish his crown.

The England striker has made a speedy return to fitness after an ankle injury, but faces a big task to catch the red-hot Egypt international. He was boosted after being awarded a goal against Stoke following a successful appeal, and then scoring against Brighton the following week.

Salah struck four times against Watford in a 5-0 rout before the international break to move clear of Kane and he added on another on his return to club duties against Crystal Palace. He reached the 30-goal mark by netting against Bournemouth.

Manchester City's Argentine star Aguero is on 21 goals after he bagged four in the recent 5-1 demolition of Leicester, while his team-mate Raheem Sterling and Jamie Vardy have scored 17 times each.

Lukaku has taken his haul for United to 15, with Salah's team-mate Roberto Firmino also on 15. Son Heung-min is on 12, along with Eden Hazard and Glenn Murray, while Morata is on 11. Wayne Rooney, Riyad Mahrez, Alexandre Lacazette, Sadio Mane, Gabriel Jesus, Christian Eriksen and Luka Milivojevic are the only other players to have reached double figures.
