Ashley Barnes closing in on Mane, Aguero with yet another Premier League goal

Only Sadio Mane and Sergio Aguero have scored more Premier League goals in this calendar year than Ashley Barnes after the Burnley striker opened the scoring in his side's 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.

The Argentine forward struck twice in Manchester City's 3-1 victory over Bournemouth earlier in the afternoon to take his tally to 16 for 2019, overtaking Mane in the process.

While the Senegal international scored the opener in Liverpool's 2-1 triumph over Southampton last weekend, he drew a blank on Saturday as Mohamed Salah's star turn saw Liverpool past Arsenal with a comfortable 3-1 success.
