But again, Salah still has six matches to break the record.

Mohamed Salah has been delighting scores of Liverpool fans with his goalscoring exploits this season and the Egyptian winger further endeared himself to the Reds faithful with an epic prank on a group of unsuspecting school kids, whose reactions ranged from overwhelmed to ecstatic, on meeting their idol.

Fast forward to March 2018 and Salah is clear of the chasing pack in the Premier League scoring charts with 28 strikes to his name and is odds-on to clinch the Golden Boot. With the goal, Salah moved into a tie with Robin van Persie and Cristiano Ronaldo for scoring in the most EPL matches in a single season (21).

"I expected the ball to come to me in that area - last game he also gave me a similar ball in that area and in the end I scored", said the Egyptian.

Mohamed Salah's late victor in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace saw him yet again break a range of Premier League records, as it was revealed the 25-year-old actually received over one million votes in the Egyptian presidential election.

The 28-year-old entertainer was not on the bill for the Saturday (March 31) performances at the Nashville, Tennessee hotspot. Swift's performance, reports The Tennessean , was filmed for a documentary celebrating the Bluebird Cafe's 35th anniversary.

Another record which he has equalled is that of most goals by an African player in a Premier League season, as his 29th goal of the season matched that of Didier Drogba in 2009-10 in which the Ivorian famously scored against Liverpool to effectively seal the title for the Blues.

Despite his wealth of achievements, Salah is not done yet.

There is also a good chance to break the Premier League goal record regardless of games played, which is held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole on 34.

He now has 37 goals overall this season across all competitions, the most by a Liverpool player in a single season in the Premier League era - surpassing Robbie Fowler's 36 in 1995-96.
