In Korea it's daylight between Adam Taggart and his pursuers for the K-League Golden Boot. Taggart scored a hat-trick in Suwon Bluewings 3-1 win over Gangwon FC. Terry Antonis was absent for Suwon.

A high quality hat-trick from Adam Taggart. 16 goals in 19 starts in Korea. Amazing. The choice to spearhead the @Socceroos attack at this stage for the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers is a pretty obvious one.. ⚽️🇦��https://t.co/SLDpfyhMdb
