GOALSCORERS
There have been 310 goals scored by 114 different players, at an average of 2.25 goals per game.
The most frequent score by far is 1-0, which has happened 41 times (30%).
Dundalk's games have had the most goals, at 2.57 per game. At the other end of the scale, Cork City's matches have averaged 1.81 goals. No need for Cork fans to arrive too early either, as Paul Doolin's side have failed to score in the opening 15 minutes of any League game.

Eight games remain to decide who will claim the Golden Boot. Today we take a closer look at the League's top two hitmen and point out how, where, and when they have scored their goals.
