The English Premier League (EPL) 2021/2022 might have come and gone but one thing stands, there were goals and lots of goals scored all through the season.
The EPL entire season was never short of competitive goal scorers who went all out to outdo themselves and sought to be the highest goal scorer of the league.
The best part, often times, is not just to lead the goal scoring chart but to win the EPL golden boot and unsurprisingly, the EPL features some of the best goal scorers across the entire leagues in Europe.
More often than not, bagging 20+ goals is needed to be in the golden boot race and the 2021/2022 season in the EPL had a couple of top players who hit the threshold.
