#3 Salah rewrites Premier League record books with 32 goals

Spectacular Salah!
The Egyptian Messi!

Unlike the other leagues where the record for most goals scored in a season easily tame the 40-goal mark, that of the Premier League was a modest 31. But when you consider that the biggest of the names gracing the league have struggled to surpass it, you understand it’s no mean feat.

Alan Shearer, Thiery Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez held the record for 31 goals in a single Premier League campaign. Until a certain Mohamed Salah came along and blew it out of water.

The Egyptain set the league alight with his eye-catching exploits for Liverpool, and romped to his first Golden Boot. In the process, he also surpassed the barrier having struck 32 times, setting a new milestone and also one that would take an extra-ordinary effort (like his, in this season) to beat.

It’s truly remarkable when you consider that even the likes of Didier Drogba, Dennis Bergkamp, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Sergio Aguero etc, some of the greatest in the league, could never do it what he did. But the icing on the cake here, is that Salah did it in only his first full season in the EPL!
