Haaland has scored in all four of Norway's European Qualifiers to date (all victories), enough for a share of top spot. Early front runner Schick suffered a frustrating evening in his fourth outing as Czechia lost 5-1 to Croatia, including two goals from Kramarić. That was the Hoffenheim striker's second double in four days as he too moved on to four goals.
Memphis Depay struck twice against Malta to move level on 50 goals with Netherlands' all-time top scorer Robin van Persie. Aleksandar Mitrović, meanwhile, hit three against Andorra to mark his 100th appearance for Serbia.
Who has provided the most assists in the European Qualifiers?
Arsenal midfielder Martin Ødegaard has been the most prolific provider so far, laying on five of Norway's 13 goals. Wales' Sorba Thomas has averaged one for each of his four appearances, while Ivan Perišić set up three goals in one game during Croatia's 7-0 victory over Gibraltar on Matchday 3.
