With five goals each, midfielder Anthony Muki Kimani and forward Ezekiel Odera are atop the Nairobi City Stars scorer’s board at the conclusion of 18 games in the 2021/22 FKF Premier League season.
The two experienced players lead teenager Timothy Babu Ouma who follows closely with four goals.
With five goals so far, Muki and Odera have improved on their haul of four goals they each scored last season.
Odera was the first player at Simba wa Nairobi player to hit the five-goal mark this season with his lone goal that handed City Stars all spoils against Kariobangi Sharks in early February at Kasarani Annex.
That goal saw Odera surpass the four goals that made him a top scorer for the club in the 2016 season, and his tally in the 2020/21 season.
Muki caught up with Odera in the next fixture against Nzoia United during a historic first visit to Sudi Stadium, a game that ended 1-1.
