Keita's blast, Dzeko's finish among weekend's top performances

The RB Leipzig and Roma stars turned in some of the best goals of the weekend around Europe's top leagues.

Top three goals of the week

Cengiz Ünder (Başakşehir): The highly rated teenager at surprise Turkish league leader Başakşehir ended a wonderful counterattack in the 1-1 draw against Besiktas.

Naby Keita (RB Leipzig): One of the stars of the Bundesliga season, Keita’s long-range strike in the second minute set the tone for a 4-1 at Freiburg–no easy place to go and win.

Edin Dzeko (Roma): Mazy dribble in the area? Check. Cut-back into space? Check. Curling shot into the far corner? Check. Dzeko is in top form for Roma this season and here was more proof.  

Top three players of the week

Moussa Sow (Fenerbahce): The Fenerbahce forward netted a first-half hat trick, as his side won 5-1 at Rizespor.

Carlos Vela (Real Sociedad): He didn't score, but the Mexican hit the woodwork twice against Barcelona and reminded us of his intrinsic talent. Now, if only he could play like that every week.

Edinson Cavani (PSG): The Uruguayan scored two goals in a 2-1 win over Lyon and had brilliant third sadly ruled out for offside. Cavani has his critics for missing chances but he can still put them away too.
