Gareth Bale new Golden Boot favourite after third Euro 2016 goal
Tuesday 21 June 2016 11:32, UK
Gareth Bale's goal against Russia has seen the Wales forward jump to the front of Sky Bet's market for the Euro 2016 Golden Boot award at 4/1.
While the story for England was one of frustration as they drew 0-0 against Slovakia despite a stack of possession and goalscoring chances, Wales were soon in control as they beat Russia 3-0 and Bale was merely wrapping up the victory when notching the third in the second half.
Bale is the only player to score three times so far in the tournament and he now heads the Sky Bet Golden Boot market ahead of Spain's Alvaro Morata at 9/2 and Belgium's Romelu Lukaku at 8/1, both of whom have scored twice.
France star Dimitri Payet has also netted a couple of goals and he can be backed at 12/1.
Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Germany striker Thomas Muller are both yet to get off the mark at Euro 2016 but are still available in the odds at 16/1 and 18/1 respectively.
Wales are in to 50/1 with Sky Bet to win the tournament after they eased through to the last 16 ahead of England in Group B.
England, who dominated much of the match against Slovakia, are 10/1 (lengthened slightly from 9/1) to find their goalscoring touch and end up as champions, with Spain heading the outright market at 100/30.
Odds correct at 2240 BST on 20/06/2016
