Which player's goals have won the most Premier League points?

Leicester would be bottom of the Premier League if it wasn't for the goals of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.

England forward Vardy has netted a remarkable 11 goals in his last nine games in the top flight, while his team-mate Mahrez got Leicester's season off to a blistering start with four goals in their first three Premier League games.

Between them the pair have scored 19 of Leicester's 25 Premier League goals this season, and those goals have proved decisive.

Without Vardy's 12 strikes Leicester would be 15th in the table; his goals have earned his side 13 points - the most any player has contributed to their club in the Premier League this term.

Leicester would be nine points worse off without Mahrez's seven goals, so, without that pair, the Foxes - who are currently third on 25 points - would be bottom of the league with just three to their name.

Other important contributors to their team include Odion Ighalo, who has scored seven of Watford's 11 goals - they'd be nine points worse off without his strikes - and Andre Ayew, who has won Swansea six points with his goals, such as his late winner at Aston Villa in October.
