Mohammed Salah is not stopping, since last night he defeated Messi in the race to reach 30 goals in the 2017-18 season and broke a record of Cristiano Ronaldo in the process.

The Egyptian winger scored a goal in the 3-0 win against Bournemouth on Saturday at Anfield, reaching 30 goals in the league and 40 in total in all races.
