Salah scoops Premier League award after nine goal involvements in October
The
Liverpool
talisman
has
been
in
irresistible
form
all
season,
but
he
took
himself
to
another
level
last
month
as
he
scored
five
goals
and
set
up
another
four.
His
five
goals
came
from
an
expected
goals
value
of
just
2.7,
highlighting
just
how
deadly
Salah
was
over
the
period
in
question.
No
one
else
scored
or
assisted
more
than
three
goals
in
October,
while
Salah’s
total
of
nine
involvements
was
more
than
double
his
nearest
challengers
Mason
Mount,
Phil
Foden
and
Roberto
Firmino
on
four
each.
In
fact,
the
last
player
to
register
as
many
as
nine
goal
involvements
in
a
single
calendar
month
was
Salah
himself
in
December
2018
(10).
Salah’s
first
goal
of
October
was
a
wonderful
solo
effort
in
the
2-2
draw
with
Manchester
City,
and
he
then
went
on
to
score
a
hat-trick
in
Liverpool’s
5-0
humiliation
of
Manchester
United.
That
was
the
first
treble
scored
by
a
visiting
player
at
Old
Trafford
since
Ronaldo
for
Real
Madrid
back
in
April
2003.
Scoring
against
United
also
ensured
Salah
became
only
the
fourth
player
for
a
club
within
the
big
five
European
leagues
to
score
in
10
straight
appearances
in
all
competitions
since
2017-18,
while
his
exploits
at
Old
Trafford
ensured
he
usurped
Didier
Drogba
as
the
Premier
League’s
top-scoring
African
player
as
well.
Ben
Chilwell,
Maxwel
Cornet,
Foden,
Tino
Livramento,
Aaron
Ramsdale,
Declan
Rice
and
Youri
Tielemans
were
also
nominated,
though
there
was
only
ever
likely
to
be
one
winner
this
time.
Salah
is
the
third
Player
of
the
Month
this
season,
following
on
from
Michail
Antonio
and
Cristiano
Ronaldo.
