The Egyptian striker sealed Liverpool's 3-1 win over Leicester with an 82nd-minute goal to draw level with the Polish striker at the top of the table.

Bad news for Robert Lewandowski. His poor scoring streak, which has seen him score just one goal in five games, is taking its toll. In La Liga, he remains the undisputed top scorer. His closest rival is Raphinha, who has managed to send 11 balls into the back of the net, far behind the Pole's 16. However, in the Golden Boot, he already has a rival who has equalled his coefficient and intends to outwit him before the end of 2024: Mohamed Salah.

While sporting activity in Spain is on hold until 2025, in England, football continues to thrill its fans. Liverpool beat Leicester City on Thursday, with a final score of 3-1. Although Ayew put the visitors ahead with an early goal, Cody Gakpo, in the first-half added time, ensured that the defeat did not last until the break. As soon as the game restarted, Curtis Jones broke the deadlock and, finally, Salah sealed the match with a great goal. This goal is the Egyptian's sixteenth in the Premier League.

Thus, as of December 27, 2024, there is a tie at the top of the Golden Boot table. The 'red' and Barça strikers have the same number of goals. Also, as both leagues have the same factor regarding goals (x2), both attackers have 32 points. As if the tie were not enough, Mohamed will have the possibility of leading the standings alone, as his team will play this Sunday against a West Ham that is thirteenth in the Premier. One goal and the African will be first.
