Harry Kane: England World Cup hero favourite to win Golden Boot after Panama hat-trick

The Tottenham striker helped England book their place in the final 16 of the tournament with three goals, two of which came from the penalty spot.

Kane now has five goals in two games in Russia, moving him one ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku.

And bookmakers now fear the England hitman is going to run away with the Golden Boot award as the competition progresses.

Kane is now 6/4 favourite to win the award next month, with Ronaldo and Lukaku at 7/2 and 5/1 respectively.

Neymar and Diego Costa are also prominent in the betting after their impressive opening two games.

"Kane is now the most likely man in Russia to win the Golden Boot, which can only be good news for England!" said Ladbrokes' Alex Apati.

And Kane's treble has seen England's odds tumble in regards to winning the tournament.

The Three Lions are now 9/1 to lift the Jules Rimet Trophy on July 15, despite being as big as 16/1 earlier this month.

England must take on Belgium in their final group game.

Both sides are level on points and on goal difference heading into the clash on Thursday evening.
