In the end, it is a numbers game. And Mohamed Salah’s numbers tell the tale. Twenty-eight goals. Eighteen assists. The player who scored the most goals and set up the most goals has to be the Football Writers’ Association’s Footballer of the Year.
That total of 46 combined goals and assists is 17 more than Alexander Isak and almost double that of any other Premier League player. Never in the competition's history has there been a bigger gap between the man with the most goal involvements and the rest.
When those outrageous numbers also delivered the Premier League title for Liverpool, there can be no serious argument for any other candidate. Salah was the difference maker this season, the decisive figure for the outstanding team in the land.
