Golden Shoe 2016-17: Top Goalscorers in Europe, Updated Points on October 3

Gonzalo Higuain's move to Juventus has in no way dampened his proficiency in front of goal, as proved by his double in Serie A as the Old Lady beat Empoli 3-0 on Sunday.

As a result, the former Napoli man moved to six league goals for the 2016-17 campaign, a record currently matched by Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann, Chelsea's Diego Costa and Inter Milan's Mauro Icardi.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani has netted eight times in seven Ligue 1 appearances so far this term after scoring both goals in the defending champions' 2-0 defeat of Bordeaux on Saturday.
