Crystal Palace flop Alexander Sorloth leads La Liga’s Golden Boot race after stunning Real Madrid with four goals for Villarreal

Premier League fans will likely remember Alexander Sorloth as a flop after he scored zero goals in 16 Premier League games for Crystal Palace in 2018 and 2019.

But the 28-year-old Norwegian striker has been in red-hot form for Villarreal this season.

Sorloth has bagged 23 goals in 33 La Liga appearances, including FOUR against Real Madrid on Sunday.

Madrid – who have already been crowned champions of Spain with games to spare – have the best defensive record in La Liga by quite some distance.
