Kane steps up the pursuit in bid for second successive Golden Shoe
KEIR RADNEDGE REPORTS: Harry Kane’s two weekend goals in Bayern Munich’s 4-3 Bundesliga defeat of Holstein Kiel lifted last season’s ESM European Golden Shoe winner back into the top two of this season’s current rankings.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah remains out front with his 21 goals in the English Premier League with Kane up to joint second with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland. Robert Lewandowski has slipped to fourth slot.
fact Victor Gyökeres of Sporting Lisbon has scored more goals than any of them – 22 – but it 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.
