An incredible evening for Viktor Gyokeres saw him bag a hattrick against Manchester City and give Sporting an historic victory over one of Europe's strongest sides.
The in-form Swedish international has had his odds sliced to 9/1 after the performance, as he has moved to be joint scorer alongside Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane, who all have five goals apiece.
It may be tough for Gyokeres to go all the way and win the competition's golden boot, but with 21 goals in 14 appearances across the Liga Portugal and the Champions League, the Swede is in scintillating form.

Notable Movers
Harry Kane – 11/5
A slight fall for Kane's odds this week as he failed to net in Bayern's 1-0 win over Benfica. The English striker has been aided by three penalty conversions to sit joint top of the scoring charts and is still the favourite to secure the competition's golden boot.
Despite his blank this week, at 11/5 Kane is still a very good shout for the accolade.
Erling Haaland – 3/1
Another blank for Haaland this week as his dry spell continues in front of goal. The Norwegian international fell to 3/1 after his side were drubbed 4-1 by Sporting away from home, with Haaland failing to find the net for the second game in a row.
With three goals so far, his form will need to improve if he is to keep pace with the current leaders. 3/1 currently does not provide as much value as other options.
Vinicius Junior – 8/1
Rank outsider Vinicius Junior was shortened this week after he scored his side's only goal as Real Madrid fell to defeat against an impressive AC Milan side who came to the Bernabeu with a point to prove.
The Brazilian converted his penalty to take his Champions League tally to four for the season, only one off the summit. At 8/1 Vinicius could be an excellent choice as he is still playing with a chip on his shoulder after failing to secure the Ballon d'Or last week. This could be the start of a rich vein of form for the winger which should see Madrid climb the Champions League table.
