It's only through merit that Salah draws comparisons to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. This is a player who scored a record-breaking 32 Premier League goals on his return to England after a forgettable short stint at Chelsea. Throughout the whole of 2018, it was only his opponent Robert Lewandowski, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi who netted more goals than his 37. How many times have you seen Messi put the ball postage-stamp? Then there was a perfectly crafted, deft touch from Salah which nearly saw Joel Matip open the scoring in the first half.
