Dominic Calvert-Lewin netted his fifth goal in eight games on Sunday as Leeds United secured a point against Manchester United. Now, he and Raphinha are Europe’s most efficient attackers.

Replays showed Calvert-Lewin speaking to Tarik Muharemovic before Anton Stach swung in a corner, as Leeds looked to cancel out Bryan Mbeumo’s opener. Muharemovic flicked it on, Calvert-Lewin scored.

That’s five goals for Calvert-Lewin this season, and four in the Premier League. The England striker is in the form of his life, reaching 20 goals in little over 12 months since moving to Leeds on a free transfer.

Raphinha and Calvert-Lewin are in the form of their lives

If Calvert-Lewin is back in the form of his life, or at least the best form since his stint at Everton under Carlo Ancelotti, then Leeds icon Raphinha is producing the kind of form a player could only dream of.

After a tricky start at Barcelona, Raphinha is now captaining the Spanish giants. Under Hansi Flick, he has truly blossomed and boasts stats of 151 goal involvements in just 186 appearances in red and blue.

Who has been Daniel Farke's best signing at Leeds and why? 🤔

Let us know in the comments 🗣️

Raphinha has scored 14 goals this season in just nine games, laying on three assists. This includes back-to-back hat-tricks in La Liga; it is widely considered that Raphinha is Victor Orta’s best-ever signing.

But remarkably, it is Raphinha and Calvert-Lewin who lead the way among Europe’s top-five leagues for efficiency in front of goal. Jonny Cooper says that since May, 128 players have had 20 shots or more.

Of those 128, Raphinha tops the rankings for goal-to-shot ratio, bagging 14 goals from 33 games at a rate of 42%. Calvert-Lewin is second, scoring seven goals from 21 games, a slightly lower rate of 33%.

Calvert-Lewin is the quickest since Mark Viduka to reach 20 goals

The England striker’s goal at Elland Road on Sunday was his 20th since moving to Yorkshire. He’s done so in just 48 games in all competitions, the quickest top-flight striker to do it for Leeds since Mark Viduka.

Viduka almost joined Milan in 2001, and that should serve as a warning to Leeds, with Calvert-Lewin’s contract set to expire in the summer of 2028. A new contract has to be a priority for the Leeds hierarchy.

But for now, Calvert-Lewin continues to bang in the goals and give Leeds cause to dream of a return to Europe for the first time in 25 years. Leeds sit seventh, which would be enough to qualify for Europe.
