Mohamed Salah's four-goal haul against Watford has propelled him to the top of the leaderboard, three ahead of Lionel Messi who also found the back of the net at the weekend.

With Harry Kane and Neymar sidelined with their respective injuries, it seems that the Golden Boot will be between four or five players.

The new leader is Liverpool's Salah, who hit four goals past Watford on Saturday to put a cushion between himself and the chasing pack. Messi also enjoyed some success at the weekend, finding the back of the net against Athletic Bilbao to keep in reach of his Egyptian rival.

However, not to be outbeaten, Cristiano Ronaldo also brought home a four-goal haul, in Real Madrid's nine-goal exhilarating victory over Girona, to bring his tally to 22 and will be an outside bet to take Europe's goalscoring crown. Kane and Neymar still occupy top positions in the leaderboard, but little by little they will fall as they continue to recover from their injury woes, having to watch from the sidelines whilst their rivals battle it out across the continent.

Luis Suarez has also dropped out of the top 10, along with Radamel Falcao, after missing the game against Bilbao through suspension.
