Salah named as world's third best player

Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has finished in third place in this year's Goal 50, which ranks the 50 best players in the world from the past 12 months.

The Egypt international enjoyed a remarkable debut season at Anfield in which he broke the record for most goals in a single Premier League campaign by netting 32 times in just 36 appearances.

Salah – who quickly formed a devastating attacking triumvirate with Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane on Merseyside after joining from Roma in the summer of 2017 – also struck 10 times in 13 outings as Liverpool reached the final of the Champions League.
