Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah ended his campaign with his second consecutive Premier League Golden Boot, having won the award in his debut season with the Reds last year.

The Egypt international was initially pegged to be a 'one-season wonder' and struggled in front of goal in the opening weeks of the season. However, Salah soon found his form and quickly made up for his initial deficits by scoring 26 goals and tallying 10 assists in 51 appearances for Liverpool.

The forward has evidently played a key role in the Reds' title challenge this season, wreaking havoc in defences across England alongside fellow Golden Boot winner Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

Like Mane, Salah could increase his chances at finishing in the top three by putting in a scintillating performance and perhaps increasing his goal tally in the Champions League final at Madrid.
