Mohamed Salah: Why Liverpool's Star Will Never Be Considered a Premier League Great

Mohamed Salah was influential in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Cardiff City on Sunday, winning the penalty which secured all three points for the Reds to send them back to the top of the Premier League.

Cardiff captain Sean Morrison was judged to have fouled Salah, with the Bluebirds' defender's arms encasing the Egyptian winger. The incident certainly gave referee Martin Atkinson a decision to make, but Salah's collapse to the floor left a sour taste. To quote Cardiff boss Neil Warnock: "It was like a great 9.9 dive, weren't it?"

One year ago today, Salah was awarded the Men's PFA Player of the Year award.
