Leeds striker Patrick Bamford is targeting the Premier League golden boot after scoring his tenth goal of the season.
Bamford scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot as Leeds beat Burnley 1-0.
The 27-year-old is now just three goals behind Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, who is currently the Premier League's top scorer.
Bamford told Sky Sports: 'It's a good achievement. I'm really happy. Don't stop now, there's a lot of hard work to be done, but it keeps me in touch with the top scorer.
Asked whether his aim is to win the golden boot, Bamford replied: 'Why not? If I don't make it then at least I've set my standards high. It's a big push but you've got to keep working and set your targets high and then you never know.'
Bamford previously featured in the Premier League for Crystal Palace, Norwich, Burnley and Middlesbrough, but this is the first season where he has been a regular starter in the division.
Given that he is Leeds' penalty taker and the fact that Marcelo Bielsa has much faith in him, it appears likely that Bamford will have plenty of opportunities to add to his tally this season.
Bamford won the penalty himself against Burnley as he was fouled by goalkeeper Nick Pope before stepping up to convert the spot-kick.
There is much competition for the golden boot this season. Beyond Salah, Son Heung-min, Jamie Vardy and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are all tied on eleven goals.
Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes is level with Bamford on ten goals, while Harry Kane has scored nine times.
The next opportunity for Bamford to find the net is on Tuesday, when Leeds face West Brom away.
