Sports Mole rounds up the all-time top scorers list in the European Championship, as England's Harry Kane joins an elite club with his strike against Denmark.

England captain Harry Kane wrote his name into the history books alongside some of the greatest names in European history with his goal against Denmark on Thursday evening.

The Bayern Munich man opened the scoring for Gareth Southgate's side in Frankfurt, although that proved to be a rare highlight of an otherwise turgid affair as England were held to a 1-1 draw in their Group C clash.

Despite the team disappointment, Kane was left to celebrate more individual landmarks, joining Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney as the only England players to score in four separate major tournaments.

The goal was also his fifth in European Championships, becoming only the 23rd player to reach that tally in the competition's history and moving level with the likes of Marco van Basten, Robert Lewandowski and Zinedine Zidane.

Rooney (6) and Alan Shearer (7) are now the only England players with more goals in the Euros, and Kane will have his sights set on surpassing both of those predecessors before all is said and done in Germany this summer.

Following Kane's latest strike, here Sports Mole looks at all of the players to have scored five or more goals at Euros.
