Egyptian forward, Mohamed Salah, has been voted Premier League player of the season for the second time after inspiring Liverpool\u2019s march to a record-equalling 20th English title.<\/p>\n

Salah earned the prize after scoring 28 league goals \u2014 five more than anyone else \u2014 and producing 18 assists for Liverpool so far this term.<\/p>\n

Heading into Sunday\u2019s final game against FA Cup winners Crystal Palace, the 32-year-old Egyptian superstar is two assists off the single-season record held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.<\/p>\n

This award is decided after votes from the public are combined with those from a panel of football experts. He also won it in the 2017-18 campaign.<\/p>\n

He has broken the run of Manchester City players winning the award for the past four seasons.<\/p>\n

Salah\u2019s teammate Virgil van Dijk was the last non-City player to win the award in 2018\/19.<\/p>\n

Van Dijk \u2014 who like Salah signed a new contract with Liverpool earlier in the campaign \u2014 was one of the players Salah beat in the voting.<\/p>\n

The others were Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, Arsenal\u2019s Declan Rice, Nottingham Forest\u2019s Morgan Gibbs-White, Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, Brentford talisman Bryan Mbeumo, and Chris Wood of Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Salah was named the Football Writers\u2019 Association player of the year, securing almost 90 percent of the votes, marking the biggest winning margin this century.<\/p>\n
