Rashford is back: top scorer against Premier League's Big Six

The conclusion? Rashford often scores at critical times. Faced with the toughest teams in the Premiership, the Wythenshawe native has pulled out all the stops. Of his 12 goals, half of them have been against the Premier League's top teams. Two against Tottenham and Chelsea, one against City and one against Liverpool. 

With the first lap closed, he leads a table that has Pukki, Ings and Salah sharing the podium with four goals. While the Egyptian scored four times in four games, Pukki and Ings needed six. 

Meanwhile, Rashford, managed to do so in five games (Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea), as United counts as a member of the 'Big Six'.

But that's not all there is to it. Adding up the assists, we find that his impact goes beyond goalscoring, as he's given one assist this season. De Bruyne scored three goals and gave three assists, meaning he would take the lead for this specific season record. Meanwhile, Pukki keeps his place in the standings thanks to his 4+2. 

Top goalscorers against the Premier League's top 10

Rashford has managed to score against the top ten teams in the Premier League (technically there are nine, as his Manchester United is in fifth place), therefore, his eight goals weigh more than Abraham and Ings' seven. 

He also stands out as a king in terms of his goalscoring impact, adding three assists to his eight goals that put him farther away in the table. De Bruyne, the master of assists, would once again slip into second place ahead of Abraham and Ings; four goals and five assists are the Belgian's statistic against the first ten opponents.
