Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw is chasing down an England record held by David Beckham.

The Three Lions ran out 4-0 winners in their Euro 2020 quarter-final tie on Saturday night against Ukraine as Harry Kane scored twice and Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson nodded in from corners.

Up next for Gareth Southgate's side is a challenging encounter with Denmark in a last-four clash at Wembley with a spot in the final on the line.

This leaves Shaw with two games remaining to equal a prestigious creative record held by former England captain Beckham.

That's because the Manchester United left-back picked up his second and third assists of the tournament against Ukraine, leaving Beckham as the only player to tee-up more goals at the European Championships.

Beckham picked up five assists across his appearances at Euro 2000 and Euro 2004.

With age on his side and the first-choice left-back slot nailed down, 25-year-old Shaw will one day hope to match - and better - Beckham's record.
