In joint second are Belgium star Romelu Lukaku, the Czech Republic’s Patrik Schick, Netherlands midfielder Gini Wijnaldum, Sweden’s Emil Forsberg and Poland’s Robert Lewandowski with three goals apiece.
Next up is Manuel Locatelli, with a well-taken double for Italy in a 3-0 drubbing of Switzerland, as well as fellow Azzuri forward Ciro Immobile. Germany’s KaiHavertz has a brace along with KarimBenzema, recalled to the France squad after years in the international wilderness.
