There was plenty of activity in the race for the European Golden Shoe over the weekend, as leader Lionel Messi netted a brace and Bas Dost did the same to take sole possession of second place ahead of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who only found the net once.

Messi helped Barcelona record a 4-2 victory over Valencia, while Dost scored both goals in Sporting CP's 2-0 win over Nacional, and Aubameyang made the difference as Borussia Dortmund edged out Ingolstadt 1-0.

Just behind the trio is Anthony Modeste, who bagged a hat-trick for FC Cologne as they beat Hertha Berlin 4-2.
