Patrick Schick scored his fifth goal at Euro 2020 when he netted against Denmark in the third quarter-final.

That made the Czech Republic player only the ninth in European Championship history, and second at this Euros, to score five or more goals at a single edition of the competition.

Earlier in the tournament, Schick scored a brace against Scotland and netted once apiece against Croatia and the Netherlands either side of drawing a blank against England.

With his strike against Denmark, Schick joined Cristiano Ronaldo as the joint top-scorer at Euro 2020. However, with the Czech Republic losing 2-1 to the Danes in the last eight, the Bayer Leverkusen forward will not be able to add to his tally at the tournament.


#2 Harry Kane becomes the first England player to score twice in a Euro knockout game

After going goalless in the group stage of Euro 2020, England's prolific striker Harry Kane arrived at the party by netting against Germany in the Three Lions' 2-0 Round-of-16 victory.

Kane followed that up with a brace against Ukraine in the quarter-final in Rome, scoring either side of the half-time interval to help England to a resounding 4-0 win on the night.

In the process, the Tottenham Hotspur forward became the first English player to score multiple goals in a knockout game in the Euros.

Kane will hope to continue his goal-scoring form when England take on Denmark for a place in the Euro 2020 final.

Harry Maguire scored a fabulous header to double England's lead against Ukraine in their Euro 2020 quarter-final against Ukraine in the Italian capital.

Harry Kane then scored his second of the night to put England firmly in the ascendancy before Jordan Henderson scored his first goal for the Three Lions, also through a header, to make it an emphatic win.

The tournament has so far seen 24 headed goals, the most at any edition of the competition.

With three more games left, this tally could increase as Euro 2020 approaches its business end.
