Harry Kane cut to 7-2 for top-scorer prize

It's better to be late than never as they say and England captain Harry Kane is now just 7-2 to be Euro 2020's top goalscorer after his double helped the Three Lions to a commanding 4-0 win over Ukraine in Saturday's quarter-final in Rome.

Kane, who was 6-1 pre-tournament favourite to be this summer's leading marksman, failed to find the net in the group stage but he has come alive in the knockout rounds, opening his account in the last-16 win over Germany.

The 2018 World Cup Golden Boot recipient was a 25-1 chance to finish as the tournament’s top goalscorer after the round of 16 but he is now just two goals behind Golden Boot pacesetters Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrik Schick after scoring twice in Saturday's quarter-final.

Ronaldo and Schick both have five goals and are 7-4 joint-favourites for the honour but neither will be able to add to their tallies having been eliminated from the tournament. Kane, meanwhile, has potentially two more games to overtake the pair should England reach the final.

Kane's Three Lions teammate Raheem Sterling also has three goals to his name but was eased out to 12-1 to be the Euros' leading goalscorer by Paddy Power after failing to add to his tally against Ukraine.

Despite not hitting the back of the net, the Manchester City forward still put in another strong performance in Rome - providing the assist for Kane's opener - which further enhanced his claims to be named player of the tournament.

Sterling is a solid 7-2 favourite to be named the best player at Euro 2020, with Denmark defender Simon Kjaer his closest rival at 8-1.

Kjaer and his Denmark team are the next obstacle in England’s way as they look to reach the final of a major tournament for the first time since 1966.

The Three Lions are 1-3 to secure safe passage to Sunday's final and 8-11 favourites to beat the Danes inside 90 minutes at Wembley on Wednesday.

Denmark, meanwhile, are 5-2 to qualify for the Euros showpiece and 9-2 shots to do so without the need of extra-time or penalties.

The Danes will be aiming to become the first side to score against England at Euro 2020 with the Three Lions having set a European Championship record with a fifth consecutive clean sheet against Ukraine.

Bet365 go 6-1 about England becoming European champions without conceding a goal.
