Premier League top scorers 2018-19:
Goal rounds up the top-scorers of the Premier League this season, with the likes of Hazard, Kane and Aguero competing for the award
The Premier League is well and truly underway, and the race to win the Golden Boot – awarded to the league's top-scorer – has begun.
Liverpool sensation Mohamed Salah is looking to defend his title after a record-breaking haul of 32 goals last year nabbed him the prize, but Chelsea forward Eden Hazard and Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang currently lead the way, followed closely by Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero.
Goal will keep you updated on the individual goal tallies for the highest-scoring Premier League players this season.
Premier League 2018-19 Top Scorers
Chelsea forward Hazard is a front-runner for this year's Golden Boot following his stellar start to the season, buoyed by an equally impressive World Cup campaign with Belgium in Russia where his side placed third.
The Belgian only managed to score 12 goals last season in the Premier League – although he missed a few weeks of the season due to injury – and could very well surpass last year's haul soon enough. Despite making no secret of his desires to fulfil his childhood dream of joining European giants Real Madrid, Hazard's form has been fruitful for a Blues side helmed by new manager Maurizio Sarri.
Manchester City's all-time top-scorer Aguero got the season underway with a hat-trick against Huddersfield in his second game, and should he avoid picking up another injury, could challenge Hazard for the Golden Boot, an award he last won during the 2014-15 season.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has played his part in Arsenal's fine start to the season under Unai Emery which saw them take in an impressive run of 11 successive wins.
England captain Kane could be on track to win his third Premier League Golden Boot after missing out on it last season to Salah, and managed to break his August goal-scoring drought earlier this season.
Salah had a disappointing start to the season so far in comparison to last season's heroics, but has scored in successive Premier League games to suggest he is getting back to his best.
Brighton striker Glenn Murray has emerged as an unlikely Golden Boot striker and scored his 100th goal for the Seagulls against Wolves.
Callum Wilson has scored three goals in his last three games to help Bournemouth's impressive start to the season which has seen the Eddie Howe's side climb into the top six.
