Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez and Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy came in second.
The Premier League is once again enduring an international break. There remains a whopping 30 games left in the current campaign but the league table is beginning to take shape (bar Chelsea) as Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United lead the way.
Of course getting to the top of the table is all about taking chances that come your way.
Who tops the Premier League table when it comes to efforts that hit the mark?
No surprise to see that it is the Manchester City star Sergio Aguero who tops the list.
| Position | Team | Ontarget Scoring Att | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sergio Agüero | FW | Man City | 14 | 8 | 548 |
| Alexis Sánchez | FW | Arsenal | 13 | 8 | 608 |
| Jamie Vardy | FW | Leicester | 13 | 8 | 712 |
| Mame Biram Diouf | FW | Stoke | 11 | 7 | 540 |
| Bafétimbi Gomis | FW | Swansea | 11 | 8 | 632 |
| Romelu Lukaku | FW | Everton | 11 | 8 | 696 |
| Riyad Mahrez | MF | Leicester | 11 | 7 | 563 |
| Graziano Pellè | FW | Southampton | 11 | 8 | 709 |
| Theo Walcott | FW | Arsenal | 11 | 7 | 439 |
The Argentine recently netted five goals in one game against Newcastle United and after a difficult start to the season he seems to be finally getting back to his best. Of course Manchester City fans will now be concerned about a hamstring injury he picked up on international duty – which saw him stretchered off against Ecuador last night.
Second place in the list is shared between one man you would expect to be at the top and one whose presence justifies his place in the England squad at the moment.
Alexis Sanchez is expected to be accurate for Arsenal, but Jamie Vardy’s rise to the top of such a list is a testament to the hard work the Leicester City man puts in.
Players from Stoke City, Swansea City, Everton, Leicester, Southampton and Arsenal all sit in joint-third.
