Golden Shoe 2015-16: Top Goalscorers in Europe, Latest December Standings

A goal-shy weekend from Europe's big guns saw Shakhtar Donetsk's Alex Teixeira claw within a point of the summit in the race for this season's European Golden Shoe.

The slim lead still belongs to Borussia Dortmund hitman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but the Black and Yellows star will be eager to get back to scoring ways after failing to net in just his third Bundesliga match of the campaign.

Napoli maestro Gonzalo Higuain is also back in the hunt for Europe's top-scorer award, and a brace against Bologna has drawn him level on points with Barcelona's Neymar, who failed to score against Valencia on Saturday.
