Mohamed Salah becomes the first Egyptian to win the PFA Player of the Year award but which country and club have the most winners?

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah made history on Sunday night by becoming the first Egyptian to win the Professional Footballers' Association Players' Player of the Year award.

He also became the club's seventh player to claim the accolade and the first since Luis Suarez in 2014.

Salah equalled the record Suarez shares with Alan Shearer and Cristiano Ronaldo for 31 goals in a 38-game Premier League season after scoring in the Reds' 2-2 draw at West Brom on Saturday.
