Garth Crooks has claimed Mohamed Salah was “the popular vote, but not the right one” after the Liverpool superstar won the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year Award.
Salah won the gong for the second time, after receiving 48 per cent of the vote, beating Kevin De Bruyne and Declan Rice, with the Man City and West Ham stars finishing second and third respectively.
The Egyptian has enjoyed another prolific season and has 30 goals in all competitions as the Reds go in search of an unprecedented quadruple. His 22 Premier League strikes also have him in pole position to win the Golden Boot for the third time in five seasons.
