No midfielder in Opta’s ten highest-rated European leagues has scored more league goals this season than Jack Moylan

Cardiff were 4-1 down at home to Burnley after 62 minutes today and somehow won 5-4. With the form Moylan’s in, the biggest surprise might be that he only scored one of the five.

His penalty made it 4-3 and took him to ten league goals in 15 games. That’s four goals in two games this week after his hat-trick against West Ham on Wednesday. Having let a three-goal lead slip that night, imagine what it meant to the Cardiff fans to see their side come back from three down themselves and win it.

What a time for Ireland to have Jack Moylan in this sort of form heading into the final two games of the Nations League campaign.

Excellent signing.

If he carries on like this, I think we will be significantly tested with offers in the summer. I don't see him going in January though for a number of reasons - prices at a premium, small sample size at this level etc.

I'm normally nervous before we take a penalty given we don't have the best record recently but for some reason when he stepped up on Saturday and Wednesday I felt confident he would score.

Put that penalty on Saturday where no goalkeeper could have reached it - high off the ground ;) :laughing6:
