Mohamed Salah Wins Premier League Player Of The Year, Golden Boot & Playmaker Award
Mohamed Salah topped off his incredible season by winning the Premier League Golden Boot and Playmaker of the Season awards.
He also broke the record for the most combined goals and assists in a 38-game season.
The Egypt international scored 29 goals and contributed 18 assists to help Liverpool clinch the title in Arne Slot’s first season as manager.
Salah finished six goals clear of second-placed Alexander Isak and registered six assists more than Isak’s Newcastle United teammate Jacob Murphy.
The 32-year-old’s accomplishments made him the first player to secure the Premier League’s Golden Boot, Golden Playmaker, and Player of the Season awards in a single season.
Additionally, Salah was honored as the Men’s Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers’ Association.
He now has the joint-highest number of Golden Boot wins (4) along with former Arsenal forward Theirry Henry.
The 32-year-old has become the first player to achieve the Golden Boot and Playmaker double twice, previously accomplishing the feat in the 2021-22 season.
Other players who have topped the Premier League in both goals and assists include Andrew Cole in 1993-94, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in 1998-99, and Harry Kane in 2020-21.
Salah made more Premier League history on Sunday when his 47th-goal involvement against Palace saw him level the record amount of combined goals and assists registered in a single season.
His 84th-minute goal during Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Anfield rounded off what has been a remarkable individual campaign.
He tied with Alan Shearer in 1994-95 and Andrew Cole in 1993-94 for the most combined goals and assists in a single Premier League season, with both players recording 34 goals and 13 assists in 42-game seasons.
Salah secured his second Premier League trophy after the match against Crystal Palace on the final day of the season.
His performances this season have cemented his place among the league’s all-time greats.
