Euro 2020 is now in full swing, with the opening round of group stage fixtures complete.
Of course, the tournament is still in its early stages, but the race for the prestigious Golden Boot is heating up, with Romelu Lukaku, Ciro Immobile and Cristiano Ronaldo among the players to have netted twice.
England captain Harry Kane is among the favourites to add another Golden Boot to his ever-growing collection, having won his third Premier League award last season, while also claiming the title at the 2018 World Cup.
However, the prolific forward was unable to get on the score sheet in England's 1-0 win over Croatia, with Raheem Sterling grabbing the only goal.
Czech Republic forward Patrik Schick is on fine form, with one of his two goals arguably already cemented the strike of the tournament, being his long-range effort against Scotland.
