Tottenham's Heung-min Son and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah are joint winners of the Premier League Golden Boot for the 2021-22 season with 23 goals apiece.

Son scored twice for Spurs in their 5-0 win at Norwich, including one stunning strike, as Antonio Conte's side claimed fourth place ahead of Arsenal and qualified for the Champions League.

Both Son and Salah made 35 appearances in the Premier League this season, but none of the South Korean's goals came from the penalty spot compared to five spot-kicks for the Egyptian.

Salah has 30 in all competitions in 49 games and will hope to add to that tally in next Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris.
