| 2 | Harry Kane | Tottenham | 20 |
| 3 | Alexis Sanchez | Arsenal | 19 |
| 4 | Diego Costa | Chelsea | 17 |
| 5 | Zlatan Ibrahimovic | M. Utd | 17 |

| 10 | Joshua King | Bournemouth | 14 |
Lukaku came into Week 34 having scored three goals in his last two matches, but the Hammers neutralised the Belgian for 90 minutes on their way to a point at home.
Per Bleacher Report's Matt Jones, Everton's struggles on the road need to be addressed:
Neither team did much in the attacking third, and when the Toffees tried to increase the pace, West Ham's physical tactics inside the box went unpunished. Ademola Lookman went close with a shot that just missed the crossbar, but other than that, chances were few.
Paddy Power were blunt in their post-match assessment:
The Cherries were a lot more entertaining in their win over Middlesbrough, finding the back of the net four times. King needed just minutes to open the scoring, and Benik Afobe doubled the lead inside of 20 minutes.
Boro have struggled in the Premier League of late and never came close to a comeback, with Marc Pugh and Charlie Daniels adding to the deficit after the break.
Per Squawka Football, King's run is something to marvel at:
Fernando Llorente and Thomas Carroll guided Swansea City to a pivotal win over Stoke City, with the Welsh side now sitting just behind Hull City in the battle against relegation. The Tigers also won on Saturday, beating Watford thanks to goals from Lazar Markovic and Sam Clucas.
The two sides appear set to battle it out for the right to play in next year's Premier League, with Hull sporting a slight advantage and the easier schedule for the remaining matches.
