Maybe if someone is in a better position I can think but I just took my decision to shoot and I scored so I’m very happy about it."Let's take a look at some of the best tweets after the former AS Roma star scored his 50th goal for the EPL giants.Salah's record for Liverpool is insane, 50 league goals in 2 seasons.
