Premier League top scorers: Liverpool's Mohamed Salah level with Tottenham's Harry Kane in Golden Boot goal race

1/23
Tom Doyle24 February 2018

Mohamed Salah added another Premier League goal to his tally at Anfield as the Liverpool star notched his 23rd of the season the Reds' 4-1 victory over West Ham on Saturday.

Salah scored one goal and assisted another as Liverpool ran out comfortable winners against the Hammers at Anfield, with the Egypt forward now level with Tottenham striker Harry Kane on 23 top-flight goals for the 2017-18 campaign.

The 2017 CAF African Player of the Year technically sits ahead of Kane in the standings by virtue of his eight assists to Kane's one, and having scored his 23 goals in 2123 minutes compared to Kane's tally in 2228 minutes of football.

The Liverpool and Spurs forwards' closest rivals for the Golden Boot this season looks set to be Sergio Aguero, who has hit 21 goals in 1788 minutes for Manchester City - a fine tally given his relative lack of game time in comparison.

Salah, though, will fancy his chances of taking the Golden Boot given Liverpool's favourable run-in, with the Reds having already played the majority of their top-six rivals.
