Top 10 goal-scoring attacking trios so far this season
Gone are the days when it was one single striker who used to produce the goods upfront. Three is the new one these days, as attacking triumvirates can be spotted almost everywhere in Europe.
These three players are the battering rams for their respective sides, knocking in goals like there's no tomorrow. This attacking troika kick their teams into gear, and shoulder almost whole of the striking burden.
Here, we calibrate the top 10 such attacking tridents of Europe, who've accrued the most goals among themselves in the leagues at this stage of the 2017/18 season.
#10 Ciro Immobile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Luis Alberto (S.S.C Lazio) - 26 goals
Perennial journeyman Ciro Immobile seems to have finally found his attacking boots in Rome as the Lazio striker is one of the biggest surprises of the season. He's bagged 16 goals in the league so far, accounting for 10 points of his side's 37 after 18 games while also assisting another seven. The Italian is perhaps, the primary reason for Le Auquile's fifth position in the table right now.
From flopping at both Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla to scoring more than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Immobile really has come a distance this campaign.
Serbian international Milinkovic-Savic is witnessing a purple patch in front of goal, netting five times in the league that marks his best return for Lazio since joining in 2015. The central midfielder is more than just about the goals though, as his defensive contributions have been just as vital whilst also helping instigate attacks with his through-balls.
Spain's Luis Alberto, for all his talent, has appeared in the red of La Roja only once - as a substitute in the 5-0 demolition of Costa Rica - but his recent form with Lazio should garner him some more.
The Barcelona graduate took some time to get going, but has kicked into gear this term with five goals to his credit. His attacking contributions are seeing the light of the day as Alberto has also been involved in six more goals as a provider, corroborating his stance among the team.
