The Premier League Golden Boot race is heating up as we begin the New Year.
Harry Kane, who topped the scoring charts in successive campaigns between 2015-17, has his sights set on another Golden Boot as he sits top of the standings as 2019 begins.
But Mohamed Salah went back to the top of the standings as his penalty secured Liverpool a 1-0 win at Brighton, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang drawing a blank in Arsenal's 1-0 loss at West Ham.
Kane had the chance to retake top spot as Tottenham hosted Manchester United in Sunday's Wembley showdown, but drew a blank as United won 1-0 courtesy of a Marcus Rashford goal.
