Premier League 100 club: Salah equals Gerrard as Kane closes in on Aguero

sportsmole.co.uk, 23 May 2022, 12:09
The final day of a thrilling 2021-22 season saw no fewer than four Premier League centurions add to their triple-figure tallies.

Harry Kane's ultimate quest to usurp Alan Shearer at the very top of the standings edged ever closer as he scored his 183rd Premier League goal, now just one behind Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero in fourth on the all-time list.

Jamie Vardy netted in Leicester's win over Southampton to move up to 133 goals in the competition, pulling further clear of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and now only 11 behind Robin van Persie.

Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both also scored in the Reds' ultimately futile victory on the final day, with Salah's goal not only clinching a share of the Golden Boot but also seeing him draw level with arguably the club's greatest ever player Steven Gerrard on 120 goals.

Salah returns to the top 20 as a result, and Mane is not far behind having notched his 111th Premier League goal - level with Dion Dublin and now only two goals shy of Ian Wright.
