Only Haaland is better. The Aston Villa forward is showcasing impressive scoring ability
Aston Villa, under the management of Unai Emery, hosted Wolverhampton today in the fifth round of the English Premier League. The match in Birmingham ended with a victory for the hosts, with a score of 3-1, and one of the goals was once again scored by Colombian forward John Duran.
The 20-year-old striker made another appearance in the second half, but that didn't stop him from notching his second goal of the season. According to statistics from Opta Joe, John Duran has scored nine goals in 719 minutes in the Premier League among players with at least two goals in the competition. On average, it takes the forward 80 minutes to score. Only Erling Haaland has a better rate, scoring every 79 minutes.
Additionally, today’s victory marked the fourth win for Villa in five matches, ensuring the team will remain among the leaders in the league table.
