Two goals each
The forwards scored their first goals of the finals in the 7-1 win against Slovenia which wrapped up first place in Group A for England, Henri Lansbury getting his second goal in as many matches to open the scoring. Also on target in the final round of group games was Danijel Aleksić, who scored Serbia's winner against Turkey, and the FK Vojvodina striker, his team-mate Milan Milanović, France's Yacine Brahimi and Kyrylo Petrov of Ukraine will all have the chance to add to their two goals in Thursday's semi-finals, unlike Joselu whose Spain side were eliminated with defeat against France. Fourteen players have scored one goal.
