You don’t just score 15 league goals if you’re not good enough. A lot of people tend to overlook the numbers from Championship football, but what they don’t understand is that you still need to have an eye for goal and the finishing skills to be able to have a goalscoring record that James Maddison has.

It’s astonishing that he has more goals than assists (11) from last season, so his qualities are immediately obvious. What that does is that it reduces the overreliance on Jamie Vardy to always be the man to look up to for goals.
