Most Seen: Egyptian Messi, Salah breaks Drogba's record
Mohamed Salah has
overtaken ex-Chelsea striker Didier Drogba to become the highest scoring
African player in Premier League history.
The Egypt international scored his 30th Premier League goal of the season in Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday.
And that strike set another
record for Salah, who continues to lead Harry Kane in the race for the Golden
Boot this season.
In the 2009-10 season, Drogba
scored 29 goals in the Premier League for Chelsea. But Salah has now surpassed
the Ivorian’s best-ever total with his goal against Bournemouth.
‘It’s completely normal
that a boy in that situation wants to be top of the scoring list, the Golden
Boot,’ Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said after the match.
‘We will not be in his
way. But we cannot force it; so, pass, shoot, pass, shoot, that’s the normal
thing to do.
‘It’s good and
impressive – what a number, wow! And what a number we scored as a team in the
whole season, that’s crazy. ‘That’s really good but
we have to carry on, there are a few games to come.’
