\"Salah\"<\/p>\n

Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah, is close to equalling Didier Drogba\u2019s scoring record after scoring his 100th Premier League goal.<\/p>\n

Salah opened scoring, as the Reds ran riot in a 3-0 win over Leeds United on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He becomes the 30th player to hit the century\u2019s mark and the fifth-fastest in 162 games after Alan (121 appearances), Harry Kane (141 apps), Sergio Aguero (147 apps) and Thierry Henry (160 apps).<\/p>\n

Salah scored his first Premier League<\/a> goal against Arsenal in March 2014 during his time at Chelsea and has 98 league goals to his name so far in Jurgen Klopp\u2019s team.<\/a><\/p>\n

Drogba, who played for Chelsea, is currently Africa\u2019s highest goalscorer in the English top-flight with 104 goals across his two spells at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

After Drogba and Salah, former Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor follows in the third spot with 97 goals.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sadio Mane also surpassed former Everton striker Yakubu Ayegbeni\u2019s tally with his 97th Premier League goal, to go level with Adebayor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
