Golden Boot Chase Heats Up as Kane and Salah Score BracesGolden Boot Chase Heats Up as Kane and Salah Score Braces The race for the Premier League Golden Boot has reached fever pitch as Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah both scored braces in their respective matches on Saturday. Tottenham Hotspur striker Kane netted twice in his side’s 4-0 thrashing of Aston Villa, taking his tally to 22 goals for the season. The England captain is now one goal clear of Liverpool’s Salah, who scored a brace in the Reds’ 5-0 demolition of Manchester United. Salah’s goals on Saturday were his 21st and 22nd of the campaign, and he is now just one goal behind Kane in the goalscoring charts. The Egyptian has been in stunning form for Liverpool this season, and he is the favourite to win the Golden Boot for the third time in his career. However, Kane is not one to be outdone. The 28-year-old has scored in each of his last seven Premier League appearances, and he is determined to lead Tottenham to their first major trophy since 2008. The Golden Boot race is now poised to go down to the wire, and it is likely to be decided in the final few weeks of the season. Kane and Salah are both in scintillating form, and it will be fascinating to see who comes out on top. In other Premier League action on Saturday, Arsenal moved into fourth place with a 3-1 victory over West Ham United. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Eddie Nketiah scored the goals for the Gunners, who are now just a point behind Manchester United. Chelsea, meanwhile, missed the chance to move up to second place after being held to a 1-1 draw by Everton. Jorginho scored a penalty for the Blues, but Richarlison equalised for the Toffees. The race for the top four is also heating up, with Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea all vying for a place in the Champions League next season.
