I think Salah is still the one that could win them the league: Rush

CAIRO - 21 April 2019: Liverpool legend Ian Rush believes that Mohamed Salah could be the reason behind Liverpool's Premier League trophy this season.

“You’d probably say game-to-game Mane has been Liverpool’s forward player of the season but then I think Salah is still the one that could win them the league,” Liverpool’s all-time leading scorer told Sky Sports News at an Ian Rush Foundation event.

"Salah was out of this world last year. I’m not sure if he got the recognition he deserved but he was never going to score as many goals as he did last season."

“I think the goals against Southampton, and in particular Chelsea – where he went off late on to a standing ovation – have been a real pick-up for him, confidence-wise," Rush stated.

Mohamed Salah participated this season in 46 matches in various tournaments; he scored 23 goals and provided 11 assists.

The 26-year-old is the top scorer in the English Premier League after 34 rounds on equal footing with Manchester City Argentinean striker Sergio Aguero.
