LONDON: Harry Kane is third in the ESM European Golden Shoe rankings after he became Tottenham’s all-time joint record scorer when he broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time to seal a 1-0 Premier League win at Fulham.

This was Kane’s 266th goal for Tottenham and put him level with Jimmy Greaves, whose tally has stood since 1970.

The England captain had endured a frustrating first half, touching the ball only four times by the half-hour mark at Craven Cottage. A 30-yard effort over the crossbar soon after signalled his intentions before he joined Greaves on 266 in the first minute of stoppage time.

Erling Haaland extended his lead at the top of the ranking with one goal in Manchester City’s defeat of Tottenham then a hat-trick against Wolves.

Usually, at this stage in the year, it is the leading marksmen from the Nordic nations – who play a calendar-aligned season – who still dominate the overall scoring charts.

But Haaland is now well clear on points of Amahl Pellegrino, the 32-year-old forward of Norway’s Bodo/Glimt, who scored 25 goals in the completed season. Haaland’s 25 goals sit him in top spot because he – like all other players in Big Five – benefit from a multiplier of two.

Players in leagues between places six and 22 of the UEFA national ranking 2022 receive a 1.5 coëfficiënt. As in former years the ranbking does not include play-offs or cup matches in the official ranking.
