Salah, Aubameyang & Mane set African record in Premier League

Mohamed Salah, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sadio Mane recorded a new African record in the English Premier League.

The Arsenal and Liverpool stars have been in an awe-inspiring form this season, scoring at least 20 goals for their respective clubs – and in the process staying in contention for the topscorers prize.
