Liverpool's Mohamed Salah grabbed his 15th Premier League goal of the season on Friday in his side's absorbing 3-3 draw with Arsenal.

The Egyptian continued his sensational recent form, putting his team in complete control of the contest at 2-0. However, Arsenal stormed back in the second period to go 3-2 ahead—netting three goals in five minutes—before Roberto Firmino netted an equaliser.

Salah is now three goals ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane, who will be keen to close the gap against Burnley on Saturday.

Here's a reminder of how the top scorers in the Premier League are currently shaping up, a recap of Friday's clash and a look ahead at what's to come this weekend.

Premier League 2017-18 Top Scorers

15—Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

12—Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

11—Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)

10—Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United), Wayne Rooney (Everton), Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)

9—Alvaro Morata (Chelsea)

8—Alexandre Lacazette (Arsenal), Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City)

Salah Grabs Goal No. 15

It was clear early in the game that Salah was going to cause Arsenal a lot of issues, as he was able to find space up against Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

He was involved in the opener when his cross deflected into the path of Philippe Coutinho and should have netted in the first half when through on goal. In the second period, he did eventually get on the scoresheet.

Firmino released his team-mate with space to run into, and with the Arsenal defence backing off, the winger curled a shot into the corner via a small deflection.

Sky Sports Statto provided an angle of Salah's strike and noted he's set for his best-ever goalscoring season:

The forward would have then been disappointed to see his team unable to see this one out, as errors in defence and in goal allowed Arsenal a route back into the game.

As we can see courtesy of the Premier League Twitter account, it didn't take the Gunners long to chop down Liverpool's lead:

Salah moved into the centre-forward position late in the game and remained a constant threat on the break. Liverpool were able to get back on terms through Firmino, although the Reds will be disappointed not to have made more of another brilliant evening's work from their No. 11.

The second game of Week 19 will see an improving Everton side take on Chelsea, although one team will be without their scorer-in-chief.

Indeed, Morata picked up his fifth yellow card of the campaign in midweek against Bournemouth, meaning he will sit this one out. Meanwhile, for the Toffees, Rooney is in exceptional form having returned to Goodison Park from Manchester United in the summer.

While he may no longer be a force of nature in the final third, he's been so effective for Everton. Journalist Paul Brown has been impressed with Rooney's efforts:

The man currently trailing Salah in the race for the golden boot is Kane, and he will be desperate to find his shooting boots again after feeding off scraps in the 4-1 loss to Manchester City last weekend. Burnley have proven to be obdurate opponents this season, though.

City have a trio of scorers in the hunt for the prize in Aguero, Sterling and Jesus, all of whom will be hopeful of adding more against a struggling Bournemouth team.

Few would have anticipated Sterling being so high up at this point in the season, but he's found a brilliant potency in front of goal. Per Scouted Football, his strikes have been important, too:

Elsewhere, Lukaku is beginning to rediscover his edge for United after something of a lean spell. The Belgian has grabbed two goals in his last two games and will want to extend his run against Leicester City.

Jan Vertonghen is convinced a raft of returning players can help propel Tottenham back up the Premier League table after their recent struggles.

A heavy defeat away to Manchester City last week left Spurs seventh and counting the cost of what has been a bruising start to a season in which aspirations were high for a squad that appeared to have greater depth than those that had competed for the title in recent years.

However a raft of injuries have hit Tottenham hard, with Moussa Dembele, Harry Winks, Danny Rose and Erik Lamela spending much of the season on the sidelines, the latter two having already missed the end of last season.

Centre-back Toby Alderweireld is not expected to return until February whilst Victor Wanyama is only just stepping up his recovery from a knee cartilage problem that has sidelined him since the second week of the season.

With Mauricio Pochettino’s squad numbers starting to swell Vertonghen is optimistic that Spurs can mount a climb up the table even if league leaders Manchester City, 21 points ahead, look out of sight.

“Obviously we lost 4-1 and City played very well but we can - and will - do a lot better in the next couple of games,” Vertonghen told ESPN.

“We've got a lot of guys coming back from injuries - there's still a couple out of course - but I think we're looking very good at the moment.”

Whilst many of their top six rivals spent the week vying for spots in the EFL Cup semi-finals Tottenham were able to recuperate ahead of the inevitably draining festive run of games.

Pochettino has used the time to drill his squad on fundamentals including set pieces and shape but Vertonghen says the Spurs squad have also used the break as a time to reflect on their recent achievements.

“It's good for us to get together, to know what we've achieved in the last couple of seasons,” he added. “We still have the same group and we're still with each other. I see no reason not to get back on track during Christmas.

“A bit of luck is missing this year, but only Kyle Walker left us from that team [last summer, when he joined Manchester City] and I see no reason we can't do the same again.”
