In numbers: Dalby's rise to Premiership's top scorer

By the middle of October, Sam Dalby was yet to net a goal in five games for Dundee United.

Two months later, the on-loan Wrexham forward is the Scottish Premiership's top scorer with eight, which have come in his past nine games.

Where that tally becomes more impressive is when you factor in his goals-per-minute ratio of 121 - the sixth best record in the entire top flight.

The 25-year-old has also racked up that total from just 11 starts, plus the fact he has eight goals from an expected goals (xG) rating of six highlights his ability to make the most of his chances.

The former Watford striker has impressive aerial ability, given he has scored four of his goals with his head, and the fact all eight have come from inside the box shows his poacher's instinct.

His link-up play has also impressed, particularly with strike partner Louis Moult in Saturday's 4-3 defeat at Motherwell.

Despite the weekend loss, manager Jim Goodwin would have been impressed with the combination play of his front pairing, who both scored at Fir Park.

And keeping the duo fit and firing will be key if United are to wrestle fourth spot back off Motherwell in the coming weeks.
