How many matches in a row has a football player managed to score in Europe’s Top 5 Leagues?
-
You might want to add a time frame to the question. Also are you looking for consecutive games the player played, or consecutive league games? That makes a difference if a player scores 5 games in a row, is rested due to injury one game, and then scores 5 games in a row again. – alamoot Dec 18 '19 at 21:47

Using abbreviations in titles, especially those that are uncommon, especially where they are ungrammatical, does not increase quality. – Nij♦ Dec 19 '19 at 1:15

Further, the inclusion of tags merely to fill out the limit, when this requires excluding tags which are equally applicable, is not likely to make them more searchable. – Nij♦ Dec 19 '19 at 1:16

The question was about the player scoring in the top 5 leagues, So it would make sense to include those leagues in the tags as well? What's your point? – Bikram Jethi Dec 19 '19 at 5:07
