5. HARRY KANE (TOTTENHAM) – 7.86
What a performance by the team! Showed what we are capable off! Delighted to get my 1st prem goal of the season #COYS
— Harry Kane (@hkane28) September 26, 2015
The England striker ended his 687-minute wait for a club goal as he hit Tottenham’s third in an impressive 4-1 rout over Premier League table-toppers Manchester City at White Hart Lane. As well as scoring, Kane operated in a deep-lying attacking role and engineered key counter-attacks and breakaways for Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
4. GRAZIANO PELLE (SOUTHAMPTON) – 7.91
Ronald Koeman’s side got back to winning ways at St. Mary’s as the Italian international, who despite failing to find the scoresheet himself, laid on two goals for team-mates Dusan Tadic and Sadio Mane in the 3-1 success over Swansea. Pelle, 31, has been in prolific form this season – scoring four times in the Premier League for the south coast outfit.
3. ROMELU LUKAKU (EVERTON) – 8.21

Romelu Lukaku netted a brace, including a late winning goal, to haunt old club West Brom and help Everton to a 3-2 victory on Monday night at the Hawthorns. Following a sluggish first-half performance, the Toffees fought back from 2-0 down and the Belgian turned in two goals from Gerard Deulofeu crosses, in-between a strike from Arouna Kone. The 22-year-old has hit four goals in the Premier League so far this term.
2. ALEXIS SANCHEZ (ARSENAL) – 8.50

— Alexis Sánchez (@Alexis_Sanchez) September 26, 2015
Chile star Alexis Sanchez ended his eight-game goal drought in spectacular style by netting a hat-trick in the Gunners’ comprehensive 5-2 victory at Leicester City. The 26-year-old masterminded an important win for Arsene Wenger’s men, rampaging from the left and right-hand side and showing off his clinical instinct in front of goal.
1. JAMES MILNER (LIVERPOOL) 8.52
The stand-in Liverpool captain relished his growing responsibility in the side and scored the fastest goal of the Premier League season after two minutes to set the Merseysiders on way their way to a 3-2 win over Aston Villa. Milner, who joined the Anfield club in the summer from Manchester City, pulled from the strings from the centre of midfield and more than made up for the loss of the injured Jordan Henderson.
