EPL: In-form Salah equals Drogba’s record
Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah, equalled the Premier League goals record for an African when he scored in a 5-0 rout of Watford at the weekend.
The Egypt forward has netted 104 times in the world’s most watched domestic league, matching the total of former Ivory Coast attacker Didier Drogba during two spells with Chelsea.
Salah showed why he is one of the most in-form players in the world with a stunning solo effort as he danced between four defenders to score for the eighth consecutive game.
