While some of his efforts can be a touch erratic, Marmoush’s shot conversion rate of 21.74 per cent does outshine the rest of Man City’s regular attackers, including Haaland, 20.59 per cent. His thunderous hit against Brighton & Hove Albion (below) last month also showcased what a clean striker of the ball he can be.

Salah is in the midst of one of the best individual seasons ever in the Premier League. But is it the best ever?

Bilal El Khannouss curled just wide to cap a rare Leicester foray, but City scored their second goal in the 29th minute. A calamitous mix-up between Mads Hermansen and Wout Faes saw the ball drop straight to Marmoush, who rifled a shot off the woodwork and in.

In the meantime, Manchester City, Newcastle United and Aston Villa all boosted their Champions League hopes with Wednesday wins, 24 hours after second-placed Arsenal and third-placed Nottingham Forest both claimed their own victories. Liverpool also triumphed to restore their 12-point lead at the top.

His total of 277 Premier League appearances is the second-most in the competition for City, behind only David Silva (309), though De Bruyne is 24 Premier League assists ahead of the Spaniard (93) for the club. Only Sergio Aguero (184), Raheem Sterling (91) and Erling Haaland (84) have scored more Premier League goals for City than De Bruyne’s 70.

Manchester City's Erling Haaland was the favourite to repeat as Premier League Golden Boot winner, but Mohamed Salah has opened out a convincing lead.
