Both are great but drogba was better. Most of those choosing mo sallah were probably not old enough to appreciate drogba's exceptional excellence when he was in his prime

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has become the highest-scoring African player in Premier League history after a phenomenal hat-trick against Manchester United.


The Egyptian was in scintillating form once again as the Reds ran riot at Old Trafford, scoring for the 10th consecutive league game and his 15th goal in just 12 games (in all competitions) this season.

The 29-year-old first set up Naby Keita for the opening goal and played a role in the build-up to Diogo Jota's strike for the second.

With his treble, it means Salah has now scored 107 goals in the top flight, helping him surpass retired Chelsea legend Didier Drogba on 104.

What is more remarkable is that Drogba needed 254 games to rack up his goals total with eight seasons spent in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Salah has featured in only 167 games, with 154 for Liverpool and 13 at Chelsea which produced only two goals.

There remains a chance his Liverpool team-mate Sadio Mane could join him at the summit, with the Senegalese seven goals back on 100.

But Salah's incredible form, which has seen him net in every game this season aside from the 2-0 win over Burnley, would surely protect his lead for now over Mane.

Salah has already broken several records this season, becoming the quickest player to reach 100 Premier League goals for Liverpool earlier this season.
. Drogba is better and can use both legs unlike Salah who uses only one leg. Drogba can use the whole body unlike Salah...However both of them are good players with more preference for Drogba

Chelsea fans and their rubbish talk.. A winger outscoring your main striker, top 9 with fewer games. Compare this Liverpool side with that great Chelsea Mouriho team, then you will appreciate the genius of Mo Salah. The King of them all is Samuel Eto Fills

Drogba rules. Don't compare. The other on top radio one presenter was saying that the British referred to Mo Salah as an African. He went further to say is No Salah really an African? Claiming Salah is from Egypt so he is a white man. I was just laughing because what he said doesn't make brain to me. No Salah is an African.

White people are really messed up. The same way they are claiming ancient Egyptians are not black Africans. So, that is what he was emphasizing. Let me tell you a story of Black Egyptian scientist that moved to USA a long time ago and how white American helped mess up his life. His story is on YouTube. When the man was filling a government form, in the space where they ask if you are Caucasian, Black/African-American, Asian, or Hispanic, the man selected Black/African-American. The white official he submitted the form to told him that he cannot be considered Black and that he should correct the error. The man insisted that he is not Caucasian because he obviously dark skin with some negroid features, and that he filled the form right. That's how the misery of his professional life in America got messed up. He lost his job and has been engaged in a legal battle with the state government. This white people will go to any length to claim all the good things that is not officially theirs.

To me,, on the basis of skin colour and culture,, most present day Egyptians are Arabs but among them are dark skinned people with negroid features. These people are descendants of Black Africans that lived in Egypt long time ago,, and black Africans taken to Egypt as slaves. I will paste the link to the man's YouTube video here if I can find it.

Surely Salah, the stats show clearly. Drogba scored important goals and played at a time the english rivalry was at it highest in the champions league but Salah makes it absolutely easy playing good football and scoring. These days he's playing like 3 seasons ago Messi. Make una stop sentiment abeg Salah has earned all the accolades he gets now and by the time he retires, Drogba's record will be nothing to reckon with cos that Salah will score 200 plus goals in 200plus appearances.

realestate99:
will definitely pick sallah

Drogba came out late, he was deemed inferior to Daniel cousin of Gabon in LeMans in French league 2 that time, drogba was a beast physically but not decisive enough goal wise, salah is still playing and has already eclipsed Drogba total premier league goals with lesser matches.

The problem with human psychology is that every body always claim his ( set/period) is the best, a 70 year old man thinks football was best played in his era, a 40 year old man believes football was best played in his era, a young man now watching football believes old school football is nothing, that the current football is the real deal.

Nostalgia has a way of making people judge wrongly, this is not only about football, it happens in all facets of life, especially in secondary school issues, Nigerians are fond of saying " when we were still in school those days things were better than this " lol

The flimsy excuse that salah does not show in big matches is vague, he has scored against almost every opposition in EPL, he scored in champions league final, so what is the issue?
International football is another kettle of fish, almighty Drogba did not win anything with ivory coast despite having the best squad ivory coast has produced in a generation.



You've said it all my brother, some people will see truth and just decide to lie. What has Drogba done that salah has not done better?...dribbles more, scores more, more assist so what abeg

So Salah was a rat? The best finishers are necessarily not the most energetic, Inzagi, Messi, Salah, Torres, Owen, Suarez. Lewandoski etc ...they use their brain more and all these guys were and are better finishers than Drogba. He scored some amazing goals and played in lots of intense matches like the Chelsea- Liverpool rivalry, Chelsea-Manu and their rivalry transcended into Champions league.. but Salah is metamorphosing into a world football legend because he is breaking and setting records
