The race for the Premier League Golden Boot has heated up between Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.As it stands, there will be a straight shootout between the pair in the closing stages of the season, with Salah leading the way on 29 and Kane just on his opponent’s shoulder with 25.Manchester City hitman Sergio Aguero is not sitting too far behind with 21 goals to his name, but the Argentine has not scored in the top flight since February.Tottenham have added a bit of spice to the rivalry by launching an appeal to get Christian Eriksen’s winning goal against Stoke City switched to Harry Kane.https://video.footballfancast.com/video-2015/harry-kane-100.mp4The England international insisted that he got a touch on the ball before his teammate’s free kick hit the back of the net during Spurs’ 2-1 triumph last weekend, and the Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Appeals Panel has agreed.A statement from the league has confirmed that Tottenham’s appeal was successful, which means that Kane, who is hunting for a third successive Golden Boot, has closed the gap to four goals.Unsurprisingly, Liverpool fans were quick to mock Kane for an apparent desperation to add to his goal tally, and even Salah himself appeared baffled at the lengths that Spurs went to.
Kane has a slight edge heading into the run-in given that his team have six games left to play, while the Reds have one fewer, so with that in mind, will the 24-year-old pip Salah to the honour?
