As the Premier League made way for the fourth round of the FA Cup over the weekend, it was left to players on the continent to make gains in the race for the Golden Shoe, in which Luis Suarez and Bas Dost joined Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the lead.
Suarez rescued a 1-1 draw with Real Betis for Barcelona, while Dost bagged a brace in Sporting Lisbon's 4-2 win over Pacos Ferreira, leaving them both level with Aubameyang on 16 goals for the campaign and 32 points.
Meanwhile, Edinson Cavani moved close behind them as he netted in Paris Saint-Germain's 1-1 draw with Monaco.
