ITS every players dream to be awarded for being the top scorer in any competition – and there’s a real rat race on for the Europa League golden boot this year.
Last season, Rangers talisman James Tavernier pipped Lyon’s Karl Toko Ekambi to the prize despite the Scots losing in the final to Eintracht Frankfurt.

But elite strikers such as Robert Lewandowski will be eyeing the award this time around.
However, the Poland goal machine will have to surpass Marcus Rashford first who is closing in on the top spot.
Who scored this week in the Europa League?
Marcus Rashford continued his phenomenal form after scoring in Manchester United’s first leg playoff against Barcelona.
And it took the England international’s tally up to three – just one behind the current top scorer.
