Heung-Min Son closed the gap to Mohamed Salah in the race for the Premier League golden boot to just one goal after scoring his 21st of the season in the 3-0 win against Arsenal on Thursday evening.
Salah still leads the current Premier League goalscoring charts with 22 goals so far this season, but failed to add to his tally after coming on as a substitute in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Tuesday evening, after the Egypt international started on the bench ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley.
Son, who is now just one goal behind the Liverpool forward to claim the award, has just two games remaining in which to do so, with games against struggling Burnley and already relegated Norwich on the final day.

Heung-Min Son has scored all 21 of his Premier League goals from open play. The South Korean forward is one goal away from Robin van Persie's Premier League record, set in 2011/12 with Arsenal, of 12 goals scored with his “weaker” foot in a single season.
Spurs will take immense confidence from beating their north London rivals as they continue to hunt down a top four spot ahead of next season.
Liverpool's quadruple dream looks unlikely now after Manchester City beat Wolves 5-1 on Wednesday night, leaving the Reds three points behind with just two games to go. The treble remains a possibility for Liverpool this season with the FA Cup final on Saturday, but the South Korea international could move ahead of Salah in the goalscoring charts should he score twice in Sunday's fixture against Burnley.
