Newcastle United loanee Adam Armstrong continued his sensational form in front of goal by bagging yet another brace for Coventry City - moving him to the summit of the scoring charts across England’s top four divisions.

The 18-year-old has now netted 12 goals in League One this season, including four in his last two outings, after scoring twice during the Sky Blues’ 4-3 victory over Barnsley on Tuesday night.

Armstrong is one clear of Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy - who is the top scorer in the Premier League - and the most-prolific marksman in League Two, Leyton Orient’s Jay Simpson. Burnley’s Andre Gray, the Championship’s top scorer, has found the back of the net on 10 occasions this season.

But it is Armstrong who leads the way across all 92 Premier League and Football League clubs with 12 strikes from 14 games.

On Tuesday evening, Armstrong’s first goal came from a beautifully-crafted move which the Geordie forward eventually rifled home first time.

His second came when he ran through on to a flick-on before calmly slotting past the Barnsley goalkeeper to rack up his fifth brace of the campaign, and keep Coventry fourth in League one, just a point off top spot.

Top Scorers In The Football League:

4. Andre Gray (Burnley) - 10 goals

Mike Williamson (Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Meanwhile, Williamson could not follow up his dream Wolverhampton Wanderers debut with another clean sheet as the West Midlands side succumbed to a 1-0 loss at Bristol City.

The 31-year-old centre-back played the entire match but failed to inspire Kenny Jackett’s men to a shut out and a victory, just as he had done during his first appearance for the club at the weekend.

Sammy Ameobi (Cardiff City)

The 23-year-old was also in action on Tuesday night, but Ameobi was once again left frustrated as he came on after 60 minutes for Cardiff City during their 1-0 loss at Leeds United.

The Bluebirds are struggling for goals - as is Ameobi himself - and Cardiff boss Russell Slade has once again voiced his frustration at their lack of a clinical edge in front of goal.
