1. Oscar (Chelsea)
The Brazilian midfielder's first hat trick for
Chelsea was accomplished in just 29 minutes and, in truth, could have
come even quicker, such were the chances he was afforded by the MK Dons
defence. Oscar now has eight goals this season and is playing a key role
in his club's steady improvement under Guus Hiddink.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)
Espanyol
must really be sick of this man. Not content with plundering five goals
against them back in September, Ronaldo added a hat trick on Sunday as
Real Madrid beat their Barcelona rivals 6-0 for the second time this
season. Ronaldo's second goal -- a left-footed rocket from 20 yards --
was one of the best he has scored this season.
3. Kelechi Iheanacho (Manchester City)
City
coasted past Aston Villa so easily that Iheanacho's hat trick might be
overlooked, but, make no mistake, this was a significant display. At
just 19, the Nigerian striker showed the confidence of a veteran to take
his goals with aplomb, and there is now a good argument to be made that
he is ahead of Wilfried Bony in the pecking order.
It was another good weekend for Mexican forward Javier Hernandez.
4. Javier Hernandez (Bayer Leverkusen)
Two
more goals took Chicharito's Bundesliga tally to 13 in 16 games and,
perhaps, made further mockery of Louis van Gaal's decision to let him
leave Manchester United. Against Hannover, he was the epitome of
efficiency as he scored with both of his two shots. Overall this season,
Hernandez is scoring with approximately once every three shots.
5. Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
The
Polish striker also scored twice at the weekend -- in a 2-0 win vs.
Hoffenheim -- although he took 10 more shots than Hernandez did.
Lewandowski has scored all four of Bayern's goals since the winter break
and now has 19 in 18 league games this season, which is already two
more than he managed in the whole of 2014-15.
6. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund)
And
here's another Bundesliga brace scorer! Aubameyang was Dortmund's
two-goal hero against Ingolstadt, which brought to an end to his longest
run without a goal so far this season: two games. With his double,
Aubameyang stays one goal ahead of Lewandowski in the battle for the
golden boot, which might last longer than the German title race.
7. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris Saint-Germain)
PSG
now lead Ligue 1 by 24 points, which means that, on average, they have
collected over an entire point per game more than any of their rivals. A
big reason for that has been the form of Ibrahimovic, whose two goals
at Saint-Etienne took his season total to 19 in 18 games. The Swedish
striker is out of contract in the summer -- surely PSG will want to keep
him?
