LIVERPOOL, UK

Egyptian Mohamed Salah, netted a brilliant solo goal for Liverpool in a 2-2 draw with Manchester City at the weekend, and moved closer to overtaking Didier Drogba as the leading African scorer in the English Premier League.

Retired Cote d’Ivoire great Drogba bagged 104 goals in two spells with Chelsea while Salah lifted his total to 103 with a wonderful goal against City at Anfield.

While scoring is second nature to the Egyptian, Ghanaian Iddrisu Baba claimed his first for Real Mallorca in his 102nd appearance for the La Liga outfit.

Salah and Mane dazzled with two goals and an assist between them in a thrilling draw against Manchester City.

Mane put the Reds ahead by scoring his 99th Premier League goal with a powerful finish across Ederson in the 59th minute after being released by Salah.

The Egyptian gave the Reds the lead again in the 76th minute, bamboozling City's defence with his dribbling and finding the far corner from a tight angle to score for the seventh consecutive game.
