Mohamed Salah has been cut to 5/6 favourite in bwin’s Premier League top scorer odds following his hat-trick for Liverpool versus Manchester United.
The Egypt winger took his tally to 10 when helping the Reds romp to an incredible 5-0 victory at Old Trafford.
That was the 10th successive match in which he had scored, with Salah netting 15 goals in 13 appearances in all competitions this term.
He has been a Golden Boot winner twice (once joint) in four years with Liverpool and is clearly the man to beat again.
After becoming the first opposition player to score a Premier League treble against United on their own ground, Salah was naturally delighted.
He told Sky Sports: “As a team, I think from the beginning we just tried to play our football, we just tried to get the ball in between the lines – and I think we did that.
“We tried to keep the ball as long as we could, create more chances. We were lucky to do that in the first half and score from that.
“To be fair, as long as the team keeps winning, I’m more than happy. I’m trying always to give my best for the team to win, which is the most important thing.”
Team-mate Diogo Jota moved up to four by also getting on the scoresheet and is 40/1 but Sadio Mane drew a blank to stay on five and is 20/1.
United star Cristiano Ronaldo remained on three after having a consolation goal ruled out for offside by VAR and he is 6/1 in this market.
Antonio earns his spurs again
Jamie Vardy failed to score in Leicester’s 2-1 win at Brentford but is still in second place on seven and quoted at 11/1 in bwin’s Premier League top scorer odds.
Michail Antonio moved up to third on six after grabbing the 78th-minute winner in West Ham’s 1-0 defeat of Tottenham from a set-piece and is 25/1.
Antonio enhanced his impressive record versus Spurs, as he scored his sixth goal against them – more than any other club.
He joked on the club website: “To be fair, I wasn’t really there to score today!
“I was kind of there just to block Harry [Kane] but the ball’s come my way and obviously being the poacher that I am, I stuck my foot out.
“I was kind of surprised because I just got my foot there, just to get in front of him, and it’s gone into the bottom corner. I was just buzzing.
“This stadium or their stadium, I just like scoring against them. It’s just one of those things where, as I go out there, I want to score goals.
“I’ve now got the number nine shirt and that’s the job I need to do.”
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can be backed at 20/1 after grabbing his fourth goal in Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa.
Callum Wilson is on the same total following a weekend strike in Newcastle’s 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace and is available at 50/1 for Golden Boot glory.
