Socceroos hopeful Adam Taggart scores twice to become K-League's top scorer

Australian striker Adam Taggart is staking his claim to be the Socceroos number nine, with another two goals for Suwon Bluewings putting him top of the K-League scoring charts.

The 26-year-old scored the opening goal in the sixth minute before securing the all-important third in a 3-2 victory on the road against Incheon United on Wednesday evening.

Taggart now has 10 goals in 17 league matches for Suwon, with five in his last five games, as he become the division's top scorer ahead of Jeonbuk's Shin-uk Kim and FC Seoul's Aleksandar Pesic (both nine goals).
