There’s a good case for Danny Welbeck, who as the only current player in the top three, with 19 goals, still has time to catch those above him.
Welbeck was a goalscoring sub at Manchester United and Arsenal but perfected the art on the south coast, with 12 of his tally coming during six years with Brighton.
The 35-year-old is now at Chelsea but –
The Premier League has joined three of its top European counterparts in calling for “fundamental” reform of the way that Fifa is run, claiming its president Gianni Infantino has “actively promoted exploitative ideas”.
In a joint statement with Spain’s La Liga, Germany’s Bundesliga, and Italy’s Serie A, the English top flight says it is speaking out “because we understand how Fifa’s relentless expansionism affects everyone”.
The four leagues say the
Their goals against Brighton meant Mbeumo and Wissa have scored in the same match for the 18th time during their Brentford careers.
Only seven pairings in Premier League history have a better overall record.
“That’s an incredible achievement from the two of them,” said manager Frank after the win against Brighton.
“When you consistently over the past six seasons have produced top scorers, that must be something we’re doing right.
There are plenty of other notable names inside the top 20 youngest Premier League players.
The most successful is Wayne Rooney, who was 16 years and 297 days old when he made his Everton debut in 2002.
Two years later he joined Manchester United, where he won 16 trophies and became their record scorer with 253 goals in 559 games.

They suffered some heavy defeats, losing by five goals or more to Liverpool, Arsenal, West Ham, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
Derby player Andy Todd later said many players “threw the towel in” during that campaign, while manager Paul Jewell revealed he was advised never to take the job.

No player epitomises the Toffees’ improvement quite like Beto, who continued his fine form with another goal at Selhurst Park.
The Guinea-Bissau striker’s opener in south London was his fourth goal in three league games – as many as he managed in 42 matches under Dyche.
The 27-year-old joined Everton from Udinese in August 2023 for a fee reportedly worth up to £30m, but scored only three goals in 30
The whole Tottenham team got the result they deserved against Villa, but I was particularly pleased that Solanke was rewarded for such a fine individual performance with two goals.
He joined Tottenham for £65m in the summer off the back of a wonderful campaign for Bournemouth but made a stuttering start this season with Spurs, which can happen.

“Didier was the initial one – Chelsea is like one big family and we just sat and ate in the canteen with the players and so we started a conversation organically while eating,” says Menon.
“He asked what I can do for him, and I told him we can try this, and he asked me to try right away. That was the moment where football opened in front of me.
What happened next?
The Rams kept faith with Paul Jewell, who had led Bradford and Wigan to promotion from the second tier, despite his minimal impact having taken over from Davies the previous November.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo says the uncertainty at the bottom of the Premier League harms the competition’s integrity.
