After Liverpool's Egypt star hit the 30-goal mark, Goal takes a look at the exploits of other African players in the English top flight

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah became the first African player to score 30 goals in a single Premier League season with his goal against Bournemouth.

Salah has enjoyed an unforgettable debut season at Anfield and his effort against the Cherries saw him surpass Didier Drogba's previous landmark of 29 goals in a Premier League campaign.

The Egyptian and former Ivory Coast international are not the only African footballers to have breached the 20-goal mark in the Premier League, however.

Here, Goal takes a look at the other players in that group and the other Africans who have made a goalscoring impact.

Sadio Mane joined Liverpool for £34 million to become the latest in a long list of players to have moved to Anfield from Southampton.

Of all Liverpool’s signings from the Saints, Mane has so far been the best. He scored 13 goals in his debut season even when missing the latter part of the campaign with injury

Mane’s Liverpool finished in fourth place with the Senegalese winger earning himself a place in the PFA Team of the Season.

The African player with the best minutes-per-goal ratio in a season on this list, Papiss Cisse found the net on average every 85 minutes after signing for Newcastle in January 2012.

When Demba Ba stopped scoring, Cisse started and guided Newcastle to a fifth-place finish.

Cisse scored what many consider one of the best Premier League goals of all time against Chelsea where his out-swinging volley looped over Petr Cech and found the back of the net.Getty Images3Yakubu | 13 goals | 2005-06

Yakubu scored 13 goals for Middlesbrough in the league, guiding them to safety and a 14th-place finish as well as a UEFA Cup final during a run which saw him score the only goal in a 1-0 win against Roma in the last 16.

Yakubu scored important goals for Boro in close wins against Aston Villa and Fulham, as well as securing a 1-1 draw against his former club Portsmouth.

Emmanuel Adebayor’s time at Manchester City was awash with controversy. The Togo international signed from Arsenal for £25 million and was an instant hit.

Adebayor scored in his first four games as City’s newly-assembled team of superstars reached the summit of the table early in the season.

The fourth game in that run was against former club Arsenal when Adebayor famously ran the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the Arsenal fans.

Adebayor’s form understandably tailed off after a terrorist attack on the Togo team bus at the 2010 African Cup of Nations and he finished the campaign on 14 goals.
