Norwich City may have been relegated from the Premier League in May but there is one table in European football this summer where they are currently sitting above Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Wes Hoolahan's opener against Sweden, Robbie Brady's late-winner against Italy and his penalty against France means that Norwich City players have scored more goals at Euro 2016 than players from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Brady's on Sunday took the Canaries' goal tally at this tournament to three while La Liga champions Barcelona only have two and Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have contributed just the one.
The only team who have scored more than the Canaries is Real Madrid with six thanks mostly to goals from Wales' Gareth Bale.
Norwich City are also the top scoring English club at the tournament so far with the likes of Everton, Arsenal and West Ham only mustering two a piece.

With Ireland's defeat to France on Sunday, and Northern Ireland and Sweden having left the competition, Norwich no longer have any players at the tournament.
