This Monday is already the twelfth assessment of the season in the ranking of European top scorers. We find the scorers who shook the nets in Germany, England, Austria, Belgium, Scotland, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine. Scorer in Sporting CP’s 3-2 victory against Boavista, Viktor Gyökeres has resumed his march forward. Now author of 18 goals in 14 matches, the Swede has consolidated his position as leader.
He is two points ahead of Robert Lewandowski. The Pole has 16 goals in 16 matches, but was silent against promoted Leganés in a very close match with FC Barcelona. He also didn’t score, but that’s because his club is currently in the middle of the winter break. Spartak Moscow striker Manfred Ugalde comes third with 15 goals in 18 matches.
