The leader has changed in the fight for the "Golden Shoe", which is awarded to the most productive football player of the European national championships.
Idman.biz reports that Swedish star Viktor Gyökeres of Sporting has taken the 1st place.
The 26-year-old forward scored a poker in the away match (5:0) of the Portuguese championship with Boavista. With this, Gyökeres, who increased the number of goals to 38, has 57 points in his assets.
He surpassed Mohamed Salah, who scored 28 times for Liverpool in the English championship. The Egyptian striker has 56 points.
Sporting will play three and Liverpool four games until the end of the season. Robert Lewandowski, who is 3rd in the ranking, has 50 points with 25 goals in Barcelona.
It should be noted that in the fight for the "Golden Shoe", the number of goals of football players is multiplied by a coefficient corresponding to the level of the league. In the leagues where both Salah and Lewandowski play, this coefficient is 2, and in the championship where Gyökeres plays, it is 1.5.
