Salah the record breaker What a remarkable season it has been for Egypt forward Salah, who signed from Roma for £34m last summer. Some doubted his ability to perform in England following his disappointing spell at Chelsea, but the goal that broke the Premier League record was his 44th in 51 games for Liverpool in all competitions this season. Alan Shearer scored 31 for Blackburn in 1995-96, Cristiano Ronaldo did the same for Manchester United in 2007-08, and Luis Suarez netted 31 for Liverpool in 2013-14. Shearer, for Blackburn in 1994-95, and Andy Cole, for Newcastle United in 1993-94, jointly hold the Premier League scoring record for a 42-match season - with 34 goals. Perhaps that total is what Salah was thinking of when he was taken off just before the fourth goal, visibly disappointed. He left with Brighton at their most vulnerable, weary and exhausted from an afternoon living on their nerves against Liverpool's attack. Earlier on Sunday, Salah added the Premier League's Player of the Season award to the two other major individual prizes he was won this year - the PFA Player of the Year and Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year awards. But with the Champions League final against Real - winners of the past two tournaments - to come, the biggest piece of silverware is still to be settled.
nice haul for a nice guy. suarez would have had the lot if not for ferguson and evra's cooked up schemes
