The 2018 World Cup in Russia has seen 122 goals scored in 48 matches, at an average of 2.54 goals per match. A record 9 own goals have been scored, the highest ever in World Cup history.
Of the remaining 113, Harry Kane has bagged 5, and is currently the tournament’s top scorer, after a hat-trick against Panama. Romelu Lukaku follows closely with 4 as does Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese striker also put himself in the contention for the Golden Boot after a hat-trick of his own against Spain in a 3-3 draw.
There are three free-kicks featured in this list along with some scorched outside the box. Hope you enjoy them all.
