Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez closed the gap to Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the race for the European Golden Shoe on Sunday, as they both netted in a 4-0 win for Barcelona against Eibar.

A goal apiece for the pair put them on 15 league goals in 2016-17, one behind the Gabon forward, who is away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. Also on 15 goals are Arsenal man Alexis Sanchez and Chelsea sharpshooter Diego Costa, as they each netted in wins for their respective sides.
