Golden Boot
Aside from the obvious hope we sort the CL qualification later, a big side interest for me is the race for the Golden Boot which is deliciously close – Kane 25 goals, Vardy 24 goals and Aguero 24 goals. Not only have I got a bit of money on it but I just love it when Kun goes on these ridiculously good goal scoring runs and bolsters his position as unquestionably the deadliest striker in Premier League history.
In the race for the Golden Boot at the half-way point at 19 games (end of December 2015), Aguero was a long way off the pace which, in part of course, was due to his traditional mid-season injury break.
On 31st December:
15 goals – Vardy
11 goals – Kane
7 goals – Aguero
Since 31st December:
9 goals – Vardy
14 goals – Kane
17 goals – Aguero
Kun has played 17 of the 18 games and scored in 12 of them at a strike rate of 1 goal every 87 minutes. Brilliant stuff.
Premier League all-time best Strike Rate
Below is an extract from the full table just showing the top 10. It is based on players with 50 or more Premier League goals. In addition, I have included any striker with less than 50 goals if they have been a Player of the Year or featured in a PFA team of the year. If anyone is interested I’ll post the full thing.
Aguero has extended his lead at the top of the table on the back of 3 consecutive seasons with a strike rate of less than 100 minutes. That in itself is a record.
Just to put Aguero’s lead into perspective he could play 16 games without scoring and he would still be ahead of Henry. If he went a full season without scoring he would still be in the top 10. Amazing.
