Dominic Calvert-Lewin is in great form, scoring for the sixth consecutive game while playing for Leeds United against Sunderland.
After joining Leeds as a free agent last summer, Calvert-Lewin has revitalized his career following a tough final season at Everton, where he only scored three league goals in 2024-25. Now 28, he is back to his best at Elland Road.
His latest goal against Sunderland marks his eighth in the Premier League this season, making him the leading English scorer in the league. This raises the question: can he make a return to the England team after not being capped since 2021?

Calvert-Lewin’s current streak puts him in pursuit of some of the longest goalscoring streaks in Premier League history. The record is held by Jamie Vardy, who scored in 11 straight games during Leicester City’s 2015-16 title-winning season. He surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy’s decade-old record of 10 consecutive games.
There are also second entries for both Vardy and Van Nistelrooy, with each having scored in eight-game streaks. Additionally, Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool) and Alexander Isak (Newcastle) have also recorded eight-game scoring runs in the Premier League.
1. Jamie Vardy – 11 (Leicester City, August to November 2015)
2. Ruud van Nistelrooy – 10 (Manchester United, March to August 2003)
