Robert Lewandowski's scorching form has slightly cooled off since he became the first player to score in each of the first 11 Matchdays of a Bundesliga season.

Bayern's prolific marksman ended a three-game goalless run with a brace against Werder Bremen which brought him level with former coach Jupp Heynckes' tally of 220 Bundesliga goals and onto joint third place in the league's all-time prolific scorers.

A goal against Freiburg on the next Matchday swelled Lewandowski's Bundesliga goal tally to 19 at the mid-point of the season which keeps him on course to equal or surpass the legendary Gerd Muller's record Bundesliga season tally of 40 set in 1971-72.

One of two players, the other being Josip Ilicic, to hit the double-digit goal tally in Serie A in each of the last three seasons, Ciro Immobile's 23 goals is the most scored by any player in Europe's top five football leagues in 2019-20.

Immobile's nine-game scoring streak which started against Genoa on Matchday 6 came to an end in a 1-3 defeat to league leaders Juventus on Matchday 15. However, the Italian striker's six goals in his last four league games see him as many goals clear of the Bianconeri's Cristiano Ronaldo atop the Serie A goal-scoring leaderboard.
