Striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom tallied 30 goals in a calendar year on Thursday as his only goal gave Red Star Belgrade a 1-0 win at FC Cologne in the UEFA Europa League Group H.<\/p>\n

The Ghana international unleashed a scorcher from outside the box on the hour mark to score the match’s only goal.<\/p>\n

However, Boakye was substituted in the 65th minute after suffering an injury while compatriot Abraham Frimpong returned from a long lay off to warm the bench.<\/p>\n

The slew of goals started with a stunner against Hellas Verona for financially-stricken Italian side Latina Calcio in January.<\/p>\n

Boakye, 24, netted 16 times in 19 games to the end of the season in Serbia for Red Star Belgrade.<\/p>\n

His breathtaking form continued into this season where he has scored 13 goals (3 in 6 league appearances, 2 in a Ghana appearance, and 8 in 10 Europa League outings)<\/p>\n

His form puts him in the class of the top strikers in the world, by numbers at least.<\/p>\n

Boakye’s average per game goal record of around 1.02 in 2017 alone is similar to Messi (+39 goals), Cavani (+34 goals), Lewandowski (+30 goals), Ronaldo (+29 goals) and Kane (+29 goals).<\/p>\n
