Congrats, Sonny!

Premiership striker wins prestigious global Puskas GOTS award.... Yet virtually no mention in media... Wonder if that would have been the case if a Pool or Utd player had won it?

Puskas award for best goal - Mohamed Salah
The Fifa Puskas award, named after the iconic former Hungary forward Ferenc Puskas, is given to the player who scored the best goal of 10 nominations.

Mohamed Salah's stunning effort to open the scoring for Liverpool in his first Merseyside derby was the winner.

The Egyptian's sublime curling finish towards the end of the first half at snowy Anfield, in December 2017, was later cancelled out by a Wayne Rooney penalty in a 1-1 draw.

Other nominations included two spectacular Champions League goals from winners Real Madrid - Cristiano Ronaldo's overhead kick against Juventus and Gareth Bale's similarly acrobatic finish in the final against Liverpool.

With success in the award for the best goal, and having been nominated in the best player category, the 26-year-old says he is hungry for more individual recognition.

"I'm sure it is not the last nomination because I always want to be better than last season," said Salah.

"My favourite goal was the one against Everton because it was my first derby, but all of them were very important."

"[Playing for Egypt in the World Cup] was one of the best moments in my life and this is the dream for us as Egyptians, and human beings, to play at the tournament."

Some confusing names in that vote.
Asians that don't play in Asia and non-Asians that do, plus some Aussies because they're in the Asian section of FIFA, for some reason.
