England boss Gareth Southgate has suggested that the Leicester striker doesn't need to worry because other forwards have gone through similar barren patches.
Image source, Getty Images"All goalscorers have periods where they are not scoring. I have played with Alan Shearer when he went through the same - and Andy Cole," said Southgate.
"Over a long period of time if they have a record of one in two or one in three they will come back to that."

Here is what Andy Munro, the chief executive of the Great Central Railway, has had to say about the museum design:
Quote MessageThis will be a museum for the whole of the city and the county and it was vital we consulted as widely as possible before choosing the winning design. There were several key factors to consider; would the new building be the right environment for the intended displays, was it iconic enough considering where it will sit on the city skyline and of course, does it fit with the project's budget?"
