Mohamed Salah was finally caught in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot on Sunday by Son Heung-min, but the Tottenham forward had to work Tim Krul hard to make the breakthrough.
Salah had been the runaway leader for the top goal scorer gong for months, but with only four goals in his last 21 matches, Spurs ace Son was able to catch him on the final day by scoring twice against Norwich City. Both players finished the season on 23 Premier League goals and ultimately shared the award.
But Son had to wait until the 70th minute before he could find a way past Canaries stopper Tim Krul, with the Dutchman pulling off a magnificent point-blank range in the second half.

That feat prompted Son's teammate Eric Dier to ask Krul: "What's Salah giving you?" Krul didn't look overly impressed and repeated the question back to him, before play resumed. Eventually, Spurs' South Koean star did find the net, 20 minutes from time, before quickly adding another five minutes later.
That put him ahead of Salah in the race for the Golden Boot, but the Egyptian scored a timely goal himself against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield, six minutes from time, drawing the pair level on 23 goals each for the season.
It is the third time that Salah has won the Premier League Golden Boot, having previously claimed the prize in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons. It is also the second time that Liverpool's number 11 has shared the award. In 2019 he tied with team mate Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on 22 goals.
