Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba reached a personal milestone after he scored a brace to help his team beat West Ham 2-1.
The Frenchman scored twice from the spot to take his tally to 13 goals this season. When coupled with his nine assists, Pogba now has been involved in 22 goals in the Premier League this season. He has never been involved in more goals in a season during his career.
His previous best tally dates way back to the 2015/16 campaign when he scored eight goals and recorded 12 assists for Juventus in Serie A.
At United, his numbers had peaked in 2017/18 season. The Frenchman netted six goals and made 10 in that campaign.
Pogba is enjoying statistically his best season yet and has five more games to take it further.
Seven of the goals he has scored in the league this season have come from the penalty spot and he has clearly made the best of being the primary penalty taker for United.
The midfielder has been crucial to United’s resurgence under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the team needs him at the top of his game, should they hope to finish in the top four.
