KIEV - Fernando Torres won the Golden Boot as Euro 2012 top scorer thanks to a goal and an assist in the final eight minutes of Spain's 4-0 victory over Italy in yesterday's final.

Torres finished with three goals and an assist along with Germany striker Mario Gomez, but played less minutes than his rival which is the tie break criteria of the ruling body UEFA.

Chelsea striker Torres scored in the 84th minute of the final and fed Juan Mata in the 88th.

His earlier two goals came in the side's other 4-0 win, over Ireland in the group stage.
