Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is four goals behind Mohamed Salah in the race for the Premier League top scorer’s award.

Alan Shearer has defended Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane on BBC Sport for his determination to have his side’s second goal against Stoke City awarded to him.

Christian Eriksen was initially adjudged as the scorer of Tottenham’s second goal in their 2-1 victory over Stoke away from home at the bet365 Stadium in the Premier League last weekend.

Kane appealed against the decision, with the England international striker claiming that he got the final touch – and he won the case.

Former Newcastle United striker Shearer has defended Kane for his stance over the goal.

Shearer told BBC Sport about Kane: “Seriously, though, It just shows how badly Harry wants his third straight golden boot.

“I don’t mind him trying as much as he can to get it, because he is a goal-hungry striker and I would have done the same – if any of my team-mates had let me!”

Premier League top scorer

Kane is challenging Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah to become the top scorer in the Premier League this season.

The 24-year-old England international striker has scored 25 goals and provided two assists in the league for Spurs so far this campaign, while the Egypt international winger has scored 29 goals and provided nine assists in the league for Liverpool so far this season.
