Mohamed Salah has 30 league goals this term

The Egyptian has enjoyed a sensational debut season on Merseyside and struck his 30th Premier League goal in the Reds’ 3-0 win over Bournemouth at the weekend.

Salah is now five goals ahead of Kane, leaving the Spurs striker with five games to overhaul his Liverpool rival.

Asked if Kane can still win the Golden Boot, Alli said: ”I wouldn't put it past him, we have seen what he has done before.

“Last year against [Romelu] Lukaku it was a tough competition and he finished the season really strongly with the amount of goals he scored.

"Salah is in great form but that can't be H's main focus.

“We are a team and we have got to play together and if he does it he does it, we will all be happy for him, but I don't think we are going to focus too much on it."

Kane was heavily criticised on social media following the Premier League's decision to award Tottenham’s second goal against Stoke last week to the England striker.

But Alli has defended his team-mate and urged him to ignore the negativity from his critics.

"He has just got to ignore what everyone else is saying, he knows how good he is and I am sure everyone else knows how good he is,” Alli added.

"Everyone is different, I don't know how H is going to take it, but I think it gives some people a chance to put him down.
