Sky Bet cut England's Euro 2016 odds following Germany victory
Sunday 27 March 2016 14:55, UK
Sky Bet have cut England's odds of winning Euro 2016 following their 3-2 comeback victory in Germany on Saturday night.
Roy Hodgson's men battled back from 2-0 down against the world champions thanks to second-half goals from Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Eric Dier in the penultimate round of friendlies before the summer showpiece.
They will now look to build on that momentum when the Netherlands visit Wembley on Tuesday night, with three further friendlies to follow prior to their opener against Russia on June 11.
Saturday night's win prompted a surge of backing for England to go on and win the Euros, prompting Sky Bet to cut their odds from 11/1 to 9/1 to win a first major tournament since the 1966 World Cup.
The result has also seen Germany lose their favourites tag in France, as they have drifted from 100/30 to 7/2, with the host nation now heading the betting.
England's impressive performance in Berlin has also shaken up the odds for who will start their opener, with Dier now odds-on at 10/11, down from 5/4, while Vardy has come in from 9/4 to 6/4.
Sky Bet's Sandro Di Michele said: "Excitement levels were certainly cranked up on Saturday night, with an unsurprising upturn of interest in the outright market, even after we shortened England's odds.
"It was certainly an impressive display and if they can build on that performance with another fine display against the Netherlands then that price is sure to tumble again as we build towards the summer."
