Four-goal Gyokeres knocks Salah off top spot in ESM Golden Shoe chase
KEIR RADNEDGE REPORTS: Mohamed Salah, despite his weekend goal in Liverpool’s Premier title-clinching 5-1 defeat of Tottenham, has been deposed from top spot in the rankings for the ESM European Golden Shoe.
Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres scored four times in a 5-0 defeat of Boavista, taking his tally for the season to 52 goals in all competitions and, specifically, 38 in the Portuguese league. The Swedish attack leader is reportedly a summer transfer target for both Arsenal and Manchester United.
His achievement in overtaking Salah is all the more notable because players in Portugal benefit from a points multiplier of only 1.5.
Marksmen from the Big Five (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) benefit from a points multiplier of two. Players such as Gyokeres 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.
