The Tottenham striker tops the scoring charts after five goals in his first two games.
Harry Kane continued his fabulous start to the season last night, scoring all three goals in a 3-0 victory over the Cypriot champions.
The hat-trick took his tally for club and country to 11 for the season, and was his fifth goal in just two Champions League appearances. This now puts him top of the pile in Europe, one ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wissam Ben Yedder, and two ahead of PSG’s Edinson Cavani and Lionel Messi, although he has played one game more.
Bookmakers wasted no time slashing the Englishman’s odds to be top scorer in the competition. Available at 40/1 pre-match, he is now as short as 9/2, whilst one bookmaker is far and away the best price at 19/2. If you were shrewd enough to back him before the first round of group matches, you would have been looking at 100/1! Since last night, 64.5% of bets on the market have been on the Spurs hitman.
Cristiano Ronaldo remains the 9/4 favourite, having claimed the Champions League top scorer accolade four of the last five seasons (the season he did not win it he was joint top scorer with Neymar and Messi). Lionel Messi is second favourite at 7/2 whilst Edinson Cavani is third in the market at 19/2.
