The ranking of European top scorers

This Monday is already the twelfth assessment of the season in the ranking of European top scorers. We thus find the scorers who shook the nets in Germany, England, Austria, Belgium, Scotland, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland and Turkey. And first place goes to Harry Kane with 18 goals in 14 matches. The English striker was valuable yesterday with Bayern Munich to avoid defeat with a goal against Mainz at the end of the match (2-2).

In second place, we find Japanese striker Ayase Ueda. If he has that many goals, he needed 16 games to achieve it. Yesterday against Ajax Amsterdam, he did not score in Feyenoord’s 2-0 defeat. In third position, we find Erling Haaland who completes the podium with his 17 goals in 16 matches. The Norwegian striker remains on a valuable double with Manchester City this Sunday against Crystal Palace (3-0).

Mbappé comes down from the podium

Kylian MbappĂ© takes fourth place with fairly similar statistics since he has 17 goals in 17 matches. This Sunday, he added a pawn during Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory against Deportivo AlavĂ©s. Fifth, Vangelis Pavlidis keeps pace. The Greek scorer from Benfica comes off a hat-trick against Moreirense (4-0). It’s a little better than Ayoub El Kaabi. Remaining silent against Aris Salonika (0-0), the Olympiakos striker remains stuck at 12 goals in 14 matches. Seventh, Luis Suarez maintains a good pace. The Sporting CP striker scored twice this Saturday against AVS (6-0) to score 11 goals in 14 matches.

Mason Greenwood takes eighth position. Last night, he was the decisive scorer for Olympique de Marseille against AS Monaco (1-0). Thus, the English winger has 11 goals in 15 matches. It’s the same as Paul Onuachu who comes ninth. The Nigerian striker from Trabzonspor was spared yesterday against Besiktas (3-3) since he will play the African Cup of Nations with the Super Eagles. Finally, Ferran Torres comes tenth with 11 goals in 16 matches. However, he did not score this Saturday in FC Barcelona’s 2-0 victory against Osasuna.

Aleksey Batrakov (Lokomotiv Moscow), Igor Thiago (Brentford), Guus Til (PSV Eindhoven), Eldor Shomurodov (Istanbul Basaksehir), Christian Fassnacht (Young Boys de Bern) fail to reach the top 10 with 11 goals as well. Elias Havel (Hartberg), Clayton (Rio Ave), Chris Bédia (Young Boys Berne), Jizz Hornkamp (Heracles) and Brayan Gil (Baltika Kaliningrad) follow with 10 goals. Pedro Gonçalves (Sporting CP), Petar Ratkov (Red Bull Salzburg), Vedat Muriqi (Mallorca), Esteban Lepaul (Stade Rennais), Ismaël Saibari (PSV Eindhoven), Joaquín Panichelli (Strasbourg) and Mirlind Daku (Rubin Kazan) follow with nine goals.
