African players continued their impactful presence in the Premier League, with both a goal and an assist recorded on Wednesday between DR Congo national team star Yoane Wissa and Egyptian world superstar Mohamed Salah.
Mohamed Salah – Liverpool (Egypt)
The Egyptian King, Mohamed Salah, extended his brilliance with Liverpool, providing an assist in his team's 2-0 home victory over Newcastle United.
In the 63rd minute, Salah displayed his exceptional vision, delivering a pass to Alexis Mac Allister, who fired the ball into the net to seal Liverpool’s win.

Later, Jake O'Brien scored the equaliser for Everton in the 77th minute.
This goal marked Wissa's 13th strike in the Premier League this season, placing him seventh in the league’s top scorer standings.
