There is a three-way tie in the race to finish as leading scorer in the 2025/26 UEFA Women's Champions League, with Wolfsburg's Lineth Beerensteyn, Arsenal's Alessia Russo and Real Madrid's Caroline Weir having hit four goals each.
Dutch international Beerensteyn struck twice in a 5-2 home win against Man United on Matchday 4 to surge to the top of the rankings, but was pegged back by full time in Wednesday's late games.
Having scored twice against Roma on Matchday 1, and then notched the late equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Paris FC on Matchday 3, Weir buried a stunning Matchday 4 volley to give Madrid a half-time lead against her old side Arsenal.
The Gunners rallied after the break, however, with Alessia Russo heading the equaliser before nodding in the winner from a Beth Mead corner on 67 minutes.
