Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah,
is on course to win the Golden shoe, an award given to the player with the most
goals in Europe.
Salah netted four times against
Watford last Saturday, to take his league tally to 28 for the season, three
more than his nearest challenger, Lionel Messi of Barcelona.
He will become the only second
Premier League player in the last 11 seasons to win the Golden Shoe, if he
indeed finishes ahead of the Argentine superstar.
Salah will also emulate former
Liverpool striker, Luis Suarez, who shared the accolade with Cristiano Ronaldo
in 2013/2014 when both scored 31 goals.
The Golden Shoe table is ranked
on points rather than goals, with goals scored in Europe’s top five leagues
worth two points.
Messi is the current holder of
the Golden Shoe, with the Argentine winning it four times. Real Madrid’s
Cristiano Ronaldo has won it four times too.
The top 10 after Sunday’s games
are:
1. Mohamed Salah, Liverpool, 56
points (28 goals)
2. Lionel Messi, Barcelona, 50
(25)
3. Edinson Cavani, Paris
Saint-Germain, 48 (24)
4. Ciro Immobile, Lazio, 48 (24)
5. Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur,
48 (24)
6. Jonas, Benfica, 46.5 (31)
7. Robert Lewandowski, Bayern
Munich, 46 (23)
8. Mauro Icardi, Inter Milan, 44
(22)
8. Cristiano Ronaldo, Real
Madrid, 44 (22)
9. Sergio Aguero, Manchester
City, 42 (21)
10. Luis Suarez, Barcelona, 42
(21)
