Euro 2020 Qualifiers: A look at the top 5 goalscorers

#2= Eran Zahavi, Israel: 11 goals

Eran Zahavi scored 11 goals despite Israel's generally poor showing

Given Israel finished 5th in their qualifying group and have only made the playoffs for Euro 2020 by virtue of their strong performance in last year’s UEFA Nations League, it’s pretty baffling to see that their striker Eran Zahavi actually scored 11 goals in the campaign, putting him in joint second place in this list.

It wasn’t like Israel scored an unusual amount of goals, either; they delivered 16, a total less than Poland, Austria and Slovenia, who all finished above them. Essentially, the Guangzhou R&F striker was their only true source of goals throughout, and he only failed to find the net in 3 of their 10 games.

To put him into even more rarefied company, Zahavi was one of just three players to score more than one hat-trick during these qualifiers, the other two being the two players to score equal or more goals than he did. The question now becomes, can he find the net again in March’s playoffs?
