Mohamed Salah Tops 2020 Christmas Premier League Power Rankings

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in International Football December 22, 2020

Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is this year’s Christmas No 1 in the form chart, powering into top spot after netting a double and providing an assist in his dazzling 33-minute cameo in the 7-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Team-mate Roberto Firmino also scored two stunning goals and notched an assist in the rout to edge into No 3 spot, with captain Jordan Henderson (No 12) narrowly missing out on the top 10 after getting on the scoresheet.

The Reds secured a stunning 7-0 win over Crystal Palace, with Salah coming off the bench to grab a brace. It later emerged that the Egyptian forward is reportedly weighing up his future at Anfield.

According to his former international team-mate Mohamed Aboutrika, Salah is angry he wasn’t made captain against FC Midtjylland.

And with Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona also keeping tabs on his situation, the future remains uncertain for Salah. However, he’s seemingly relaxed about the saga.

Other contenders

Manchester United stars rallied, with Scott McTominay (No 4) joining Marcus Rashford (No 2), Bruno Fernandes (No 6) and Victor Lindelof (No 9) among the elite after the Scot scored twice in three minutes during a 6-2 win over rivals Leeds.

Aston Villa capitalised on a one-man advantage to impose complete dominance in a 3-0 win against West Brom. Captain Jack Grealish (No 5) pulled the strings again and summer signing Bertrand Traore (No 8) scoring and assisting.

Meanwhile, Burnley stopper Nick Pope (No 7) retained his top-10 standing. And Leeds midfielder Stuart Dallas (No 10) bucked his side’s weekend form in the rankings after netting a consolation from range at Old Trafford.

Simply put: there are a few stars signings consistently among the top. But there is plenty of movement up and down the rankings as plenty of big boys have yet to hit their stride.
