LONDON: Mohamed Salah won the Football Writers鈥� Association Player of the Year award for the third time on Friday after inspiring Liverpool鈥檚 march to a record-equalling 20th English title.

Salah earned the prize after scoring 28 goals and producing 18 assists for Liverpool in the Premier League this season.

The Egypt forward broke the record for the most goal involvements in a 38-game Premier League campaign as Arne Slot鈥檚 side romped to their first title since 2020.

Salah secured almost 90 percent of the football writers鈥� votes, marking the biggest winning margin this century.

Liverpool center-back Virgil van Dijk came second in the contest, with Newcastle striker Alexander Isak third and Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice fourth.

Salah, who was previously given the award in 2017-18 and 2021-22, is now level with former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry as the only players to win it three times.

The 32-year-old recently ended speculation over his future by signing a new two-year contract to stay at Anfield until 2027.

Salah鈥檚 decision to commit to Liverpool will make them favorites to win a record 21st title next season as they look to move ahead of Manchester United as England鈥檚 most successful top-flight club.

Alessia Russo became the second Arsenal player to land the women鈥檚 award as the striker finished ahead of last year鈥檚 winner Khadija Shaw.
