His team may have lost to Ukraine in the final of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship but England's Nathan Delfouneso at least went home with a trophy having finished as the tournament's top scorer with four goals.

Double top
The Aston Villa FC striker failed to find the net in the 2-0 final defeat by the hosts yet two goals against both Slovenia and Switzerland meant he scored one more than anyone else over the past fortnight in Ukraine. Three players finished on three goals each, including Denys Garmash whose double against Serbia took Ukraine into the final where he opened the scoring with a fine volley. England's Henri Lansbury scored in three successive matches, while Danijel Aleksić also found the net three times for Serbia. Five players finished on two goals, with 17 scoring one goal each.
