Reigning African Footballer of the Year Mohamed Salah is poised to become the leading English Premier League scorer for the second successive season.
The Egyptian netted before being carried off following a blow to the head as Liverpool triumphed 3-2 at Newcastle to keep the title race with Manchester City alive. His goal took his season’s total to 22, two more than his closest challengers.
His Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane of Senegal, Gabon’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Arsenal and Argentine Sergio Aguero from Manchester City have 20 goals each.
