Goals Scored - 5

The Bosnian started the Champions League season with a bang, scoring 5 goals in his first 3 games. However, Dzeko missed the last two group stage games after picking up a muscle injury. This week, he was back in the starting eleven against Porto, but failed to find the back of the net, as Roma won 2-1 at home.

He was actively involved in the game though, as he set up Zaniolo for the first goal. He then hit the upright with a ferocious volley and the rebound was turned in by Zaniolo again.

Dzeko is averaging a goal every 90 minutes played and has now scored 5 goals from 5 games so far in the Champions League this season. He has registered 18 shots, 13 of which have been on target. The Serbian will have to regain his goal scoring form when his team visit Porto in March, as the Portuguese side have a crucial away goal from the first leg.

At the end of February, Eden Dzeko is 3rd among the top contenders for the Champions League Golden Boot.
