Mohamed Salah prioritises league title over personal success at Liverpool

The Egyptian national team captain scored twice as the Reds defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

Salah broke the deadlock on the half-mark before sealing the win with a 75th minute penalty.

The result left the Merseyside club on top of the league standings with 56 points from 23 games - nine clear ahead of Arsenal ahead of their clash with fourth-placed Manchester City on Sunday.

Salah is the league's current top-scorer with 21 goals for the season. His two recent efforts saw him move onto 178 overall Premier League goals, and surpass former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard into sixth place on the list of players with 100 or more Premier League goals.

Speaking after his brace, a delighted Salah said on Sky Sports: "It feels good to be fair! Scoring goals, team winning, it's an incredible feeling.

"But I said many times before that my main target this season is to win the Premier League with the team.

“We are going in the right direction so hopefully we can keep going like this.”
