This list shows the then Premier League forwards who have scored the most opening goals so far this Premier League season.
10) Emmanuel Adebayor – Tottenham – 5 opening goals
The African forward has scored eight, but five of them have been the crucial opening goal. Since winning his place back in the side under Tim Sherwood, Adebayor has spearheaded the Spurs side impressively.
9) Christian Benteke – Aston Villa – 5 opening goals
The Belgian powerhouse has been nowhere near as prolific as last season, but since the new year, he’s been scoring at a rate of a goal every other game. His physical style and aerial ability suits Paul Lambert’s footballing style perfectly.
