KEIR RADNEDGE REPORTS: The race which matters in the ESM European Golden Shoe rankings is not for top spot – Erling Haaland is well clear – but for second place.

Harry Kane’s penalty for Tottenham in Monday’s 1-1 Premier League draw at Everton was the England captain’s 23rd goal in domestic competition.

That goal edged him further clear of Napoli’s 21-goal Victor Osimhen.

Marksmen from the Big Five benefit from a points 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 ranking does not include play-offs or cup matches in the official ranking.
