Kylian Mbappé has pulled level with Lionel Messi at the top of the World Cup Golden Boot charts with seven goals each, scoring the winning penalty in France's victory over Paraguay.

The French forward matched Messi's tally after his crucial spot-kick helped Les Bleus secure a hard-fought win. Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, and Vinícius Júnior all have five goals and could close the gap in upcoming matches.

Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal is also in contention with four goals as the race for the Golden Boot intensifies. slot-chickenroad.org
