LONDON: Liverpool’s Mo Salah has overtaken Robert Lewandowski in top spot of the ESM European Golden Shoe rankings.

Salah’s penalty in Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Manchester United lifted him onto 18 goals for the season and two more than Barcelona’s Poland captain and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.

Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres took over fourth place with Last season’s winner, Harry Kane, and Estonia striker Alex Tamm of Nõmme Kalju slipping back into joint fifth place.

Marksmen from the Big Five (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) 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 coefficient.

As in former years the ranking does not include play-offs or cup matches in the official ranking.
