Mo Salah Becomes First African Player To Score 30 Goals In A Season by tommykiwi(m): 9:06pm On Apr 14, 2018
More than just a goal machine, Mohamed Salah is becoming something of a serial record-breaker too.

The Egyptian’s looping header against Bournemouth was his 30th Premier League goal and 40th strike overall in 2017-18, a goal which saw him break multiple records.

Salah is the first African player to score 30 goals in a Premier League season, bettering Didier Drogba’s return of 29 for Chelsea from the 2009-10 season.
Liverpool’s 'Egyptian King' also became just the third player in the club’s history to score 40 goals or more in a season, joining Roger Hunt (1961-62) and Ian Rush (1983-84 and 1986-87).

If that wasn’t enough, he also became the first player to score 30 league goals in Europe’s big five leagues this season.

Whilst Salah has stolen many of the headlines at Anfield this season, he is not alone in his devastating attacking endeavours.

Something of a forgotten man this season, Sadio Mane has been quietly ticking along, and putting up impressive numbers too.

Mane’s early opener against the Cherries saw him become the highest-scoring Senegalese player in Premier League history with 44 goals, one more than Demba Ba (43) managed during his three-year stay in England.

He has 17 goals for the season, with 10 of those coming in league fixtures.The former Southampton winger has also become a pillar of consistency too.

Of players to score 10 or more goals in a Premier League season, only Sergio Aguero (7) and Eric Cantona (5) have reached this feat more times than Mane (4) has
