Nine of his 17 goals have come with his head

Cristhian Stuani is, at 31, going through his best season as a player. WIth two goals at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid he now has 17, a personal record.

He's also the best header-er of a ball in Europe. Girona's Uruguayan striker has nine headers to his name out of his 17 goals. Both strikes at the Bernabeu came via his head. No other forwarrd in the top European leagues has more goals in that way.

Stuani's season has been impressive. Previously in the 2014-15 season he managed 12 league goals. 

He is level with Atletico's Antoine Griezmann in the Pichichi chart, which Messi tops with 25, Ronaldo is second with 22 and Suarez is third with 21.
