We tend to judge strikers primarily on goals scored but that's not always the best metric. This interesting OPTA chart shows that Kane has most goals this season, but that's in part because Tottenham create a lot. Vardy & Glenn Murray have much better shot conversion rates. pic.twitter.com/0lMYElE7U5
