Mo Salah Won The Prestigious ‘Goal Of The Year’ Award And Saudi Twitter Is On Joy OVERLOAD

Egyptian football star, Mohammed ‘Mo’ Salah, won the incredible 2018 Puskás ‘Goal Of The Year’ Award at the annual FIFA Football Awards on Monday.

The individual goal that led to this victory was the Liverpool vs Everton match in the Merseyside derby back in December, reports say.

With Salah’s global star-power, it’s no surprise the mixed reactions from every country on the win.

But the Arab world, especially Saudis, were more than excited for his latest achievement.
