The 2022 Qatar World Cup has officially entered its 2nd week, with a bucket load of goals being scored at the tournament so far.

We have seen some world-class strikes with some shock results along the way, as the business end of the tournament gets underway.

Of the 127 goals scored so far, Chelsea and Manchester United are the two Premier League sides with the most goals scored (6) by their players in Qatar.

Kai Havertz (2), Raheem Sterling (1), Hakim Ziyech (1), Kalidou Koulibaly (1) and Christian Pulisic (1) are the Blues scorers joint with Manchester United for the Prem’s leading teams for player goals, with the two sides joint on five assists as well.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC!

Havertz and Pulisic have exited the tournament meaning the remaining three Chelsea players will have to shoulder the burden of keeping Chelsea top of the scoring charts, while the United scorers in Marcus Rashford (3), Bruno Fernandes (2) and Cristiano Ronaldo (1) all find themselves in the knockout stages of the competition, giving themselves a very high chance of increasing their tally as the tournament progresses.
