MAXWEL Cornet has made a big impact at Burnley since joining from French club Lyon over the summer.

The Ivory Coast international has scored six goals in 12 games for the Clarets, becoming an immediate fan favourite at Turf Moor.

His most recent goal was a stunning free-kick in a 3-1 defeat against Leeds at Elland Road.

But how do Cornet's stats compare to the rest of the Premier League?

The forward's prolific strike rate puts him at the top of the list in terms of minutes per goal this season.

He sits above the likes of Mo Salah, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin de Bruyne and Jamie Vardy.

Here are the top 10 courtesy of Offers.Bet

  1. Maxwel Cornet (102.3 mins per goal)
  2. Mo Salah (111.4 mins per goal)
  3. Riyad Mahrez (140.2 mins per goal)
  4. Jamie Vardy 140.2 mins per goal)
  5. Diogo Jota (155.2 mins per goal)
  6. Emile Smith-Rowe (160.3 mins per goal)
  7. Raheem Sterling (177.6 mins per goal)
  8. Cristiano Ronaldo (182.3 mins per goal)
  9. Kevin de Bruyne (182.8 mins per goal)
  10. Emmanuel Dennis (183.8 mins per goal)

 

Cornet will be available for the Clarets’ upcoming clash with Watford after Ivory Coast were knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations by Egypt on penalties.

The Burnley man scored his spot-kick but his side were beaten 5-4 in the shoot-out following a goalless draw in the round of 16.

Sean Dyche’s men sit at the foot of the table despite holding Arsenal to a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.

However, they have several games in hand on the sides around them after having multiple games postponed due to Covid cases and injuries.
