European goalscoring defenders ranked: Arsenal flop level with Ozil, Chelsea ace second
GOALSCORING defenders are a powerful weapon for any top team, and some stars have really been banging them in around Europe this season.
Goals from the back can add another dimension to a team’s attack, and some defenders have been making a habit of popping up in the right place this season.
Mathieu Debuchy is one such player who has hit a rich vein of goalscoring form this campaign, scoring four times in just 10 appearances since joining Saint-Etienne in January.
The former Arsenal defender has as many goals for his new club as Gunners maestro Mesut Ozil has managed all season, although the Frenchman is still not the most prolific defender in Europe.
