Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland, Hwang Hee-chan and the race to become the Bundesliga's top scorer

After winning his fifth Torjägerkanone in 2019/20 - his third in a row - Bayern's prolific Pole is the man to beat once again in 2020/21. After scoring on the opening day of the season in Bayern's 8-0 win over Schalke, Lewandowski took Matchday 3 by storm by scoring all four of his side's goals in a dramatic 4-3 win over Hertha Berlin and then hit a brace in the 4-1 win at Arminia Bielefeld last time out.

Age: 27
Games: 4 (3 starts)
Goals: 4
Minutes per goal: 67.6

After beginning the season on the Bremen bench in their defeat to Hertha Berlin, Füllkrug was handed a start for his side's trip to Schalke on Matchday 2 and did not disappoint. A second career Bundesliga hat-trick - converting once from the spot - got Füllkrug off the mark in 2020/21 in style. He then made it four from four for the campaign from the penalty spot as Bremen drew 1-1 with Freiburg on Matchday 4.

Games: 4 (4 starts)
Goals: 3
Minutes per goal: 117.6

Müller has made a fine start to the 2020/21 campaign and having scored in the opening weekend victory over Schalke, he took his tally to three league goals with a brace in Bayern's Matchday 4 dismissal of Bielefeld.

Serge Gnabry

Club: Bayern Munich
Age: 24
Games: 4 (4 starts)
Goals: 3
Minutes per goal: 106

Bayern's top scorer behind Lewandowski last season made a stunning start to the new campaign with his first ever Bundesliga hat-trick in the 8-0 win over Schalke. His partnership with Leroy Sane promises many more goals for the German, who could well prove to be Lewandowski's biggest rival for the Torjägerkanone this term.

Andre Silva

Club: Eintracht Frankfurt
Age: 24
Games: 4 (4 starts)
Goals: 3
Minutes per goal: 117

The Portugal international started the season in style with goals on Matchdays 1 and 2. He made it 11 goals in his last 14 Bundesliga games from the penalty spot against Cologne on Matchday 4.

Sasa Kalajdzic

Club: VfB Stuttgart
Age: 23
Games: 4 (3 starts)
Goals: 3

After coming off the bench to score against Freiburg on Matchday 1, Kalajdzic was handed his first start of the campaign away to Mainz the following week, chipping in with another goal and an assist as VfB fought back to win 4-1. He struck again on Matchday 3 as Stuttgart came from behind to draw with Bayer Leverkusen.
