After scoring twice in a 2-1 win over Nice on Matchday 2, Aktürkoğlu converted a game-winning penalty as Fenerbahçe beat Stuttgart 1-0 on Matchday 3. Świderski, meanwhile, found the net once in each of Panathinaikos' first three games before having a penalty saved on Matchday 4.
Świderski's team-mate Zaroury struck his first career hat-trick as his side defeated Young Boys 4-1 on Matchday 1 – the only treble so far in the competition this season – but has failed to add to his tally in Panathinaikos' subsequent three games.
Igor Jesus scored a double in Forest's 2-2 draw with Real Betis on Matchday 1 and added a penalty in the 2-0 triumph over Porto on Matchday 3, while Igamane scored once for Lille against Brann and twice against PAOK.
Three players made it to three goals on Matchday 4: Franculino netted for Midtjylland in their 3-1 win over Celtic, Shaqiri's double helped Basel beat FCSB by the same scoreline and Navarro scored in Braga's topsy-turvy 4-3 defeat at home to Gent.
A total of 26 players are lying just behind the frontrunners on two goals, including the likes of Iago Aspas from Celta and Aston Villa's John McGinn.
