Salah stars as Egypt wins World Cup qualifier

Liverpool star continues to deliver

Mohamed Salah continues to deliver – both for his club and national team. On Friday evening, he was a key player when Egypt defeated Ethiopia 2–0 in the World Cup qualifiers.

The Liverpool star opened the scoring by netting the 1–0 and then assisted Ahmed Sayed for the team's second goal. With this victory, Egypt strengthens its lead in the qualifying group, now having 13 points after five matches, with Burkina Faso in second place with eight points.

Salah’s performance also means that he now has scored 58 goals in 102 appearances for Egypt.

In the 2016–17 season, Salah was a key figure in Roma’s unsuccessful title bid and achieved double figures in both goals and assists. In 2017, Salah moved to Liverpool in the Premier League for £36.9 million, a club record at that time.
