Mohamed Salah wins Premier League Player of the Month

LONDON: The awards and milestones continue to arrive thick and fast for Mohamed Salah after he was named the Premier League Player of the Month for the second time this season.
The Egyptian sensation scored four goals and contributed two assists in February to land the award ahead of Sergio Aguero, Mousa Dembele, Pascal Gross, Glenn Murray, Eden Hazard and Xherdan Shaqiri. Salah also won the award in November.
“The players make it easier and the coach also makes it easier for me,” Salah said. “It’s nice to win it again especially because it’s the Player of the Month of the Premier League, so that’s something good. I say always try to help reach the three points and to be in a better position.”
The gong is yet another addition to Salah’s trophy cabinet. He won the Arab Player of the Year earlier this year and then followed that up by landing the African Player of the Year. He also fired Egypt to the World Cup this season.
The forward, 25, has also been setting records for Liverpool since signing from Roma for for £34 million ($48 million). Last month he became the quickest Liverpool player to score 20 Premier League goals and also became only the fifth player to have scored 20 Premier League goals in a season for the Reds.
He has 32 goals this season in all competitions and is the Premier League’s joint-top scorer with Harry Kane on 24.
