The Golden Boot at Euro 2024 was shared between six players as both Harry Kane and Dani Olmo missed the chance to claim the award outright in Sunday s final.
Neither Kane nor Olmo were on the scoresheet as Spain edged out England for a deserved 2-1 victory in Berlin, with Mikel Oyarzabal stepping off the bench to net a late winner.
Nico Williams had earlier put Spain ahead with his second goal of the tournament, before England substitute Cole Palmer found the bottom-left corner with a measured 73rd-minute finish.
A number of big names including Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo fell short in Germany, allowing a few outsiders to nab a share of the honours.
Here, we run through the best facts around each of the six joint-victors.

Cristiano Ronaldo is eyeing a second international title with Portugal as the Euro 2016 champions prepare for the Nations League final against Netherlands.
Portugal and Netherlands will do battle in Sunday s decider after Ronaldo s hat-trick saw off Switzerland 3-1 in the semi-finals.
Ronaldo – who featured in the Euro 2004 final loss to Greece – helped Portugal to European glory three years ago and the five-time Ballon d Or winner has set his sight on victory in his third international decider.
When I pull on the shirt of the national team, it s a huge honour for me and it s a different feeling than it is playing for clubs, Ronaldo told UEFA.com.

Alan Pardew was announced as Newcastle manager on a five-and-a-half-year contract on this day in 2010.
The former Reading, West Ham, Charlton and Southampton boss was unveiled as successor to the sacked Chris Hughton, who had overseen the Magpies’ promotion in 2009-10, as furious fans made their feelings heard about his appointment.
At a press conference that day Pardew – not accompanied by Newcastle owner Mike Ashley or managing director Derek Llambias – said: “I know they (the fans) are frustrated, that’s fairly obvious by the reaction.
“I’m not going to say I have kept away from it, I have tried to keep up to date with the frustration.
“They probably thought they had some stability with Chris and that’s gone, and the record of manager…
A massive non-conference clash headlines NFL betting in Week 10 when the Dallas Cowboys come to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs are slim favorites at home, fresh from a victory in Las Vegas Sunday night – seemingly snapping out of a three-game offensive funk. Dallas, on the other hand, bounced back from a bad loss in Week 9 with a 43-point eruption in a blowout of Atlanta last Sunday. That surplus of firepower has this total among the highest of 2021.
Here are our NFL free picks and predictions for Cowboys at Chiefs on November 21.

Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb has taken a lot of heat after scoring a costly touchdown in Week 2.
In case you somehow missed it, Chubb could have gone down in bounds, allowing his team to run out the clock and secure a win. Instead, scored to put the Browns up by 13 with two minutes left… then Cleveland utterly collapsed and lost the game.
Lost in the shock of one of the biggest collapses in decades is that the Brownies’ RB is a bona fide stud, and looking through the available Steelers vs. Browns picks markets for this week’s TNF matchup provides us both some juicy Nick Chubb props and a chance for him to quickly wash the sour taste of that Jets loss out of his mouth.
Here are my three favorite free NFL picks for Cleveland’s numb…

Despite their sustained excellence over the years, doubters were unshy about vocalizing that this year’s iteration of the Kansas City Chiefs did not have what it takes to win the Super Bowl. But after another classic Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid performance, the Chiefs are now back-to-back Super Bowl champions.
