Salah edges ahead of Kane in latest European Golden Shoe ranking
KEIR RADNEDGE REPORTS: Mohamed Salah is back as lone 23-goal leader at the head of the ESM European Golden Shoe rankings.
Salah scored in both Liverpool’s 2-2 midweek derby draw with Everton and then again in the 2-1 weekend defeat of Wolves to edge ahead of Harry Kane on 22. Third place, one further goal back, is shared by Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski and Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui.
Victor Gyökeres of Sporting Lisbon has also scored 22 goals but is down in 10th 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.
