West Bromwich Albion 2-2 Liverpool: 5 Talking Points

West Bromwich Albion v Liverpool - Premier League

#2 Sorry Kane, but Salah's taking the Boot!

Salah deserves the Golden Boot

Despite being clearly aware of the gravity of the upcoming AS Roma clash, Jurgen Klopp decided to start Mohammed Salah, and that's plausible up to a certain extent as having him in the side means a goal's guaranteed.

So it all went according to the script when the Egyptian ace bagged one late on. But even more than West Brom, one suspect who'd be more disgruntled by that goal would be Harry Kane, whose quest for a third successive Golden Boot is now all but over.

The Spurs striker has always been vocal about his ambitions of securing the individual honour, but the arrival of Salah has made life really difficult for him. And in what has already been a stellar campaign, the former Roma forward added another twinkle with a cheeky chip over Ben Foster for his 31st strike of the campaign, to go five clear of his Tottenham rival.

On current evidence, Salah is sweeping the Premier League Golden Boot without a flap.
