England's Beth Mead took the top scorer prize at UEFA Women's EURO 2022, though it was her haul of five assists that nudged her in front of fellow six-goal forward Alex Popp of Germany.
Both players left their mark on the finals, not least by equalling Inka Grings' record goal tally at a single tournament, set in 2009. The duo have taken their place in the pantheon along with the likes of Lotta Schelin, Carolina Morace, Pia Sundhage and Grings – the only player to manage the feat twice. The German is also one of just two players to have reached double figures overall, matching compatriot Birgit Prinz's total of ten.
