Mohamed Salah struck 32 times in 36 games in his first season back in the Premier League for Liverpool, but which were the forward’s 10 best?
Salah broke a plethora of records in 2017/18, cementing himself as Jurgen Klopp‘s key man in attack and one of the most dangerous players in world football.
The Egyptian King is now being considering among the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as a contender for the Ballon d’Or, and certainly has claim to the honour.
Thirty-two of his 44 goals for the Reds last season came in the league, with Liverpool marking his 26th birthday by counting down his top 10 in the top flight.
The lists kick off with his stunning volley against Stoke City in November, setting a high standard, and they continue to improve from there.
Salah’s solo brilliance is showcased with his brace against Watford in March and his brilliant goal against Tottenham in February.
And his ability from long range saw him score fine efforts against Southampton and Everton, but perhaps most characteristic of his talents were his counter-attacking finishes.
Those came against the likes of West Ham and Arsenal, with Salah’s pace and composure proving too much for defences across the Premier League.
Liverpool will be hoping there’s more to come from the forward in future campaigns, but it will certainly be difficult to top his remarkable first season as a Red.
