Premier League Golden Boot/Top Scorer 2020-21

[Badgers]

Already a high scoring season in the PL (so far) and some new names in the table.

Started this thread to see if people think that penalties should be included in the GB figures?

As things stand, we’re on course for 250 penalties to be awarded in the Premier League this season, which is more than double the current record (112)

Jamie Vardy has already scored four penalties, which is as many as he converted in the whole of last season (it could have been five if he hadn’t been substituted against Manchester City after completing his hat-trick), Jorginho has three to his name (he also missed one), while Mohamed Salah, Bruno Fernandes, Callum Wilson and Neal Maupay have two each.

Even if the current average drops as a result of referees showing more leniency around the new handball rules, it’s clear that this is going to be a record-breaking season when it comes to penalties, as was the case in Serie A in 2019-20.

Yes, next.

I know Lineker reckons shoot-outs should count towards goals scored, although he said it tongue in cheek, as it would bring him level with Charlton for England.

Would also put Shearer 3 up, and equal with Kane on 33

Southgate is less enthusiastic about the idea.
