While Artem Dovbyk won the Pichichi award last season, he narrowly edged out Alexander Sorloth as top scorer. Both were courted by Atlético Madrid in the summer, but it was Sorloth who ended up making the move.
Sorloth has failed to earn a starting spot since arriving at Atlético, but he is proving his worth, as he showed on Saturday. According to Marca, in a calendar year in the league, Sorloth is Spain’s top scorer without taking penalties into account.
