Mohamed Salah and Jamie Vardy have both notched five and sit level in the standings with the 31-year-old, but both have played a game more.

Antonio, who also made his Jamaica debut last month, was named player of the month for August and continued his stellar start to the campaign with a 90th minute winner at Leeds United on Saturday.
