Mario Gomez favourite for Euro 2012 Golden Boot

Gomez favourite for Golden Boot

Germany striker Mario Gomez has been named as the bookmakers' favourite to take home the Euro 2012 Golden Boot.

The Bayern Munich striker bagged a brace during his country's 2-1 win over the Netherlands this evening.

In the wake of the result, William Hill slashed the odds of him finishing top goalscorer to 5/4.

The Ukraine's Andriy Shevchenko had his odds cut to 16/1 after scoring second-half double in Monday's 2-1 victory over Sweden.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who put his side 1-0 up in the match, has also been cut to 25/1 despite Sweden's status as outsiders to qualify for the next phase.

Other tips include Russia's Alan Dzagoev at 6/1, France's Karim Benzema at 16/1, and Croatian duo Mario Mandzukic and Nikica Jelavic both at 20/1.
