Golden Boot rivals Ings and Aubameyang top Premier League performers from GW32

 

Gameweek 32 in the Premier League was concluded in stunning fashion, as last season's Premier League champions Manchester City thumped this season's newly-crowned title winners Liverpool 4-0. There was also another dramatic swing in the race for Champions League football, as both Leicester and Chelsea lost, allowing Wolves and Manchester United to cut the gap to third and fourth, respectively, further.

 

At the bottom of the table, not much is changing. None of the current bottom three are capable of winning games as Norwich, Bournemouth and Aston Villa all lost once more. West Ham's victory over London rivals Chelsea means they now have a bit of a cushion on the bottom three and it is starting to come a four-horse race for relegation, with Watford just one point above the drop zone.

Ings is one back on 18 for the campaign after netting a brace in Southampton's win at Watford on Sunday. The former 27-year-old found the back of the net from both attempts on goal, registered three key passes and completed four dribbles at Vicarage Road.
