Liverpool's in-form forward Mohamed Salah currently leads the race to be the league's leading scorer this season with 29 goals.

Tottenham's second goal last Saturday was initially credited to midfielder Christian Eriksen, but the London club said in their appeal that the Denmark international's 63rd minute free kick had gone in after clipping Kane's shoulder.

A three-member panel awarded the goal to Kane after taking the player's testimony into account and reviewing footage from the match.
