Harry Kane admits he’s got a major fight on his hands as he bids to win a third Premier League Golden Boot in a row.

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah stretched five clear of Kane on Saturday with the winner at Crystal Palace.

The Egyptian already has 29 strikes, the same number of goals as Kane managed last season when he won the trophy and three more than the Tottenham hotshot bagged the year before.

“Salah’s done fantastic, he’s a great, great player,” said Kane, who returned from an ankle injury when he came on as a sub in the 3-1 victory at Chelsea on Sunday.

“He’s obviously got a bit of a head start now, and we’ll see what happens.

“I can’t control what he does, so I’ve just got to make sure I prepare well for games and just be ready.

“It’s competition. I had the same last year (with Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez).

“For me, I’ve got to focus on my own game and my own team, and we’ll see what happens come the end of the season.

“It’s just about being positive. I’m delighted to be back out there and win here at Stamford Bridge, and hopefully I can just have a strong finish.”

Kane missed three weeks due to the injury picked up at Bournemouth and he revealed the setback was a case of ‘deja vu’.

“The injury was pretty much exactly the same time as last year, funnily enough,” he said.

“The swelling went down quick, and whenever I get injured I prepare right and make sure I do everything I can to get back on the pitch.

“Hopefully, this time it was quicker than last time. I do the right things off the pitch, and I think that’s a big help.

“Whenever something bad happens in football or life, you have to find the positives.

“For me, it was a chance to get a couple of weeks’ break, refresh the other muscles, and get ready for the business end of the season. That’s how I looked at it.

“I didn’t know how quickly I would be back, but I went away with one of the physios, did some rehab, and I knew last week it was looking good and I would be able to step it up. Thankfully I was ready for the game.

“As a team, we’re in a great position for Champions League football, and we’ve just got to continue that. We’ve got big games coming coming up, so we’ve just got to looking forward to that.”
