African superstar Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has become the first footballer to score in seven consecutive matches from the start of a German Bundesliga season.

The 26-year-old Gabon striker and 2014 African Footballer of the Year runner-up to Ivorian Yaya Toure bagged a brace at the weekend for second-place Borussia Dortmund, taking his season league tally to nine goals.

Senegalese sharpshooters excelled in the English Premier League with Mame Biram Diouf, Cheikhou Kouyate, Diafra Sakho and Sadio Mane scoring, and Benin striker Rudy Gestede netted twice.
