France's Yohan Gourcuff and Borko Veselinovic of Serbia and Montenegro are the joint leaders of the top scorers' chart at the UEFA European Under-19 Championship having registered three goals apiece after two rounds of matches.
Hat-trick delight
Serbo-Montenegrin forward Veselinovic has struck in both his side's Group A games, hauling his country back into their opening encounter with Germany with a quick double and getting the only goal of their win against hosts Northern Ireland on Matchday 2. Stade Rennais FC midfielder Gourcuff, meanwhile, hit all of France's goals in their 3-1 Group B success against Norway on Wednesday night, including two penalties.
Two for Polanski
Germany captain Eugen Polanski lies in third place on two goals, having scored his team's first goal of the tournament against the Serbo-Montenegrins, and then volleyed their second in the 3-0 victory against Greece. Twelve players have scored once each.
