Top 10 Premier League scorers: Haaland leads despite scoring only 1 penalty in 4 rounds, Brazilian striker ranks 2nd, Manchester City's new signing Semenyo is 3rd.

After 21 rounds of the Premier League, this weekend features the FA Cup matches, marking the end of a busy period of consecutive midweek and weekend games. In the 21st round, all top four teams drew their matches. The Big 6 clubs all dropped points in the same round, with four drawing and two losing, showing how the congested schedule is taking its toll even on the strongest teams. The Premier League is undoubtedly the toughest of the top five leagues to compete in.

According to data from Squawka, the top ten scorers in this Premier League season are as follows: Haaland has been in a slump recently, scoring only one penalty in four games but still leads the chart. The new Brazilian striker Igor Thiago has emerged impressively in second place, while Manchester City's new signing Semenyo ranks third.

Premier League top scorers this season (top 10):

• 1st: Haaland / Manchester City, 20 goals (including 2 penalties).
• 2nd: Igor Thiago / Brentford, 16 goals (including 5 penalties).
• 3rd: Semenyo / (transferred from Bournemouth to Manchester City), 10 goals (including 1 penalty).

Since Manchester City signed Semenyo, the attack now has another reliable scorer besides Haaland; surprisingly, the top 10 Premier League scorers include Guimarães, a defensive midfielder who is Newcastle’s leading league scorer, proving his all-around ability and importance to the team. Calvert-Lewin seems to have revived his form, possibly the best backup for Kane in England’s World Cup squad for the USA, Canada, and Mexico tournament. Igor Thiago, a Brazilian striker of high caliber, is the first in years and might be considered by Ancelotti for Brazil’s World Cup squad to add more attacking options, acting as a battering ram in a solid defense. Notably, Igor Thiago has attracted attention from several top Premier League clubs, with efficiency surpassing other new striker signings like Yorke.
