New Golden Age as Aguero, Lukaku, Morata, Kane and Firmino thrive

Has the Premier League ever been so blessed with such a wealth of top-level strikers at once?

Some may feel nostalgic for the mid-1990s days of Alan Shearer, Teddy Sheringham, Les Ferdinand and Robbie Fowler or the early-to-mid 2000s when Ruud van Nistelrooy and Thierry Henry were duking it out, but this season feels a golden age for strikers.

Each of the top five clubs in the table features a striker in top form, though each of them are very different players.
