Champions League: Salah overtakes Drogba, Eto’o to become top African goalscorer

by · Daily Post

Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah, has become the top African goalscorer in Champions League history.

Salah scored the second goal as the Reds beat Bologna 2-0 on Wednesday night.

It was the Egyptian’s precise cross that set up Alexis Mac Allister to put Liverpool 1-0 up.

Salah then produced a typical curling finish from inside the box to claim his 45th goal in the competition.

He overtakes former Chelsea striker, Didier Drogba (44).

Ex-Barcelona and Inter Milan striker, Samuel Eto’o, is in third place with 30 goals.
