Jamie Carragher's comments on the Africa Cup of Nations are receiving more backlash, with the former Liverpool defender suggesting Mohamed Salah may have a disadvantage in the Ballon d'Or.

Mohamed Salah stars again as Liverpool draw at Aston Villa - The Egyptian took his goal contributions to 39 in just 26 Premier League games, with 24 goals and 15 assists.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is the best player in the club's history, and is now expected to win the Ballon d'Or.

It's an absolute howler from Aston Villa's Andres Garcia as he passes the ball to the feet of Diogo Jota, who finds Mohamed Salah in front of goal to make it 1-0 for Liverpool.

But during Liverpool’s draw against Aston Villa, Salah made more history by becoming the fourth player in Europe’s top five leagues to provide 100 assists — joining Lionel Messi (100), Thomas Mueller (116) and Kevin De Bruyne (117) — as per Sofascore.

Mohamed Salah has scored one goal and set up the equalizer by Trent Alexander-Arnold in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at Aston Villa that stretched its lead in the Premier League to eight points.

Mohamed Salah's heroics rescued a point for Liverpool against Aston Villa as they drew 2-2 in the Premier League.

The Egyptian King will face off against the Egyptian Prince at the Etihad on Sunday when Mohamed Salah and Liverpool take on Omar Marmoush and Man City.
