2015-16 Premier League winner Jamie Vardy has often been Leicester City’s lone warrior in the 2021-22 campaign. While his teammates have struggled to get their affairs in order, Vardy has kept up the good work in front of goal.

The Englishman has been razor-sharp in the final third of the pitch, scoring impressive goals to keep his team going.

Out of the 34 shots he has taken in the Premier League this season, 15 have been on target. His 15 on-target shots have led to nine goals, making him the second-highest goalscorer in the division.


#2 Sadio Mane (Liverpool) - 16 shots on target

Liverpool’s lightning-quick left-winger Sadio Mane has been a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League this season. Yes, he has not been as prolific as his teammate Mohamed Salah, but he is no slouch either.

Known for stamina, pace, and technical ability, Mane has been quite trigger-happy in the Premier League this campaign. The Senegalese has attempted a total of 46 shots in the league, with 16 of those attempts being on target.

Out of his 16 shots, seven have hit the back of the net, making him the fourth-highest goalscorer in the Premier League this season.


#1 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - 25 shots on target

Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah sits at the top of the table, winning the contest by a landslide. Having scored 13 goals in the Premier League already, Salah is the most in-form player in the English top-flight this season.

The left-footed maverick plays as an out-and-out right-winger and loves to cut in from the right-flank. Salah loves to add a dash of curl to his shots, but he can also dispatch deceptively powerful strikes when needed.

Having played 14 Premier League matches this season, the Egypt international’s most notable came against Manchester United in October. He scored an impressive hat-trick en route to Liverpool’s historic 5-0 win over their bitterest rivals.

Salah, who scored 22 goals last season in the Premier League, has taken it up a notch this season. He has kept 25 shots on target this season, meaning 44.6 percent of his total shots have managed to work the keeper.

To top it off, Salah is also the league’s leading assist provider with eight.
