This Monday evening, Brighton welcomed Liverpool to the Falmer Stadium, on the occasion of the 37th day of the Premier League. The stake was less for this meeting, since the Reds have been officially champions of England since April 27 and a victory against Tottenham.
The men of Arne Slot have also lost (3-2), despite goals from Elliott and Szoboszlai. Mohamed Salah therefore did not score in this meeting, thus remaining in third place in the race for European gold shoe.
A boon for Kylian Mbappé, who is now in the ideal position to win this trophy which rewards each season the top scorer of all the first division football championships combined. Author of a goal on Sunday with Real Madrid, on the lawn of FC Seville, the number 9 Merengue now totals 29 goals in Liga.
European gold shoe, the current classification
1. Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting): 58.5 points (39 goals), finished season
2. Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid): 58 points (29 goals), a remaining match
3. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): 56 points (28 goals), a remaining match
4. Harry Kane (Bayern Munich): 52 points (26 goals), season finished
5. Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona): 50 points (25 goals), 1 remaining match
The former Paris Saint-Germain player has 58 points in this ranking where a goal scored in the five major European championships (Germany, England, Spain, France and Italy) reports two points. Two lengths ahead of Salah, knowing that the two men will only play only one championship match this season. If none of the two scored, it was then Viktor Gyökeres who would take the individual reward.
