GOALSCORERS
Gary Twigg's third header of the season edged him to within a single goal of leader Jason Byrne and the two will battle it out for the top goalscorer's spot over the coming months.
69 players have scored 144 goals between them at an average of 2.06 goals per game.
First goalscorer markets often attract much attention and Gary Twigg leads the way here. Even taking an average price of 4/1 on the Scot (he's 7/2 for tonight's game with Dundalk), a €10 investment every week would see you with a €110 profit so far thanks to his five opening goals.
