The Premier League resumed last weekend, with the first matches since Manchester City's guilty verdict. The Sky Blues continue to lead the league, and forward Erling Haaland extended his advantage as the top scorer with a goal in a 3-0 win over Liverpool.
Haaland scored two more on Saturday, Oct. 17 as City defeated Ipswich, taking a commanding early lead in the Golden Boot race.
But players who are not in Manchester City colors also are finding the back of the net. Clubs large and small have representatives in contention for the top scorer crown after six matches this season.

8 goals
- Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
