World Cup 2022 Golden Boot race: Marcus Rashford goes joint top after England brace

Marcus Rashford has joined Kylian Mbappe, Enner Valencia and Cody Gakpo at the top of the World Cup goalscoring charts after netting a brace in England's three-goal victory over Wales.

Rashford scored twice for the Three Lions in his first start of the tournament with Phil Foden also on target. The Manchester United forward opened the scoring for Gareth Southgate's side with a swerving free-kick and added his second and England's third later in the half after Phil Foden's close finish had doubled their advantage.

The striker had previously been deployed from the bench in England's opening two games, netting as a substitute in the 6-2 victory over Iran while also appearing as a second-half replacement in the drab goalless draw against the United States on Friday night.
