Striker, Harry Kane has been awarded Tottenham's second goal against Stoke City bringing his current goal tally to 25 goals in the English Premier League.

The goal was initially awarded to Christian Eriksen but that decision has been overturned by the league's Goal Accreditation Appeals Panel.

A statement released by the Premier League read: "After taking the player's testimony into account and reviewing the match footage, a three-person panel agreed that the final touch on the ball belonged to Kane."

England striker Kane, who has won the Premier League Golden Boot in each of the past two seasons, now has 25 top-flight goals for the current campaign.

That haul puts him second in the standings, four goals behind Liverpool star Salah, who seemed bemused by the panel's decision.

Spurs host Premier League leaders Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah couldn't help but react on social media. In a twitter reaction the Egyptian sensation wrote: “Wooooooo Really?”

His Liverpool team mates also reacted to the decisions with different emojis expressing how they felt.

Salah, will have the chance to add to his goal haul when Liverpool take on Bournemouth on Saturday.
