Greek forward Vangelis Pavlidis is sitting in the second spot among Europe’s top scorers with 22 goals in 19 appearances for his club in the Netherlands AZ Alkmaar after the international forward found the back of the net again in the away game in the Dutch first division league against Heerenveen (2-2).
