Salah pushes clear in pursuit of European Golden Shoe — as well as Premier title
KEIR RADNEDGE REPORTS: Mohamed Salah is racing away at the top of the ESM European Golden Shoe rankings.
Salah’s goal in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory at Manchester City lifted him on to 25 goals, four clear of Harry Kane and Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui on 21.
Victor Gyökeres of Sporting Lisbon has scored 23 goals but is down in ninth place, handicapped by the computation of the rankings.
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.
