Women's Champions League top scorer: Harder clear

Bayern forward Pernille Harder is the early leader in the race to finish as UEFA Women's Champions League top scorer.

Harder, who took the prize while at Wolfsburg in 2018/19, struck a Matchday 1 hat-trick against Arsenal and added another goal away to Juventus on Matchday 2. That puts her two ahead of eight players, including last season's competition top scorer Kadidiatou Diani of Lyon.

Another player on two goals in the group stage, Twente's Kayleigh van Dooren, finished as qualifying joint-top scorer with four strikes, and she currently leads the way for the season as a whole. Bayern and Lyon, like Barcelona and Chelsea, did not play in qualifying.
