Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has been one of the Premier League ’s most unsung heroes this season in their race to defend their top-flight crown.

Pep Guardiola’s side are currently a point ahead of Liverpool with both sides having six games remaining of the 2021/22 season. Five-time title winners City moved back to the top of the Premier League table on Wednesday night, beating Brighton and Hove Albion 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium following a flurry of second half goals.

While City were held at half-time by a Brighton side who have recently won away at Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, Mahrez got the opening goal in the 3-0 victory, with Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva completing the scoring later in the second half.

Mahrez has only started 13 Premier League games for the Sky Blues this season, with his 11 other top-flight outings coming from the bench. Despite that low number of starts, Mahrez’s 11th Premier League goal of the season moved him to the club’s joint-top scorer in the division this term alongside Kevin De Bruyne.

With 11 goals in 1,314 minutes in the Premier League this season, Mahrez has the second best goals per minute ratio of any player in the league (minimum ten goals scored). Liverpool’s Mohammed Salah (114.2) is the only player with a better minutes per goal ratio than Mahrez this term (119.5).
