WHAT. A. JOKE.

In the latest example of why the public should never be trusted to decide anything, Salah’s solo goal against Everton was recognised (by Liverpool and Egypt fans) as the greatest goal of the 2017-18 season.

Sure it was good… but it had absolutely nothing on Gareth Bale’s overhead kick against the Reds in the Champions League final. Or Cristiano Ronaldo’s acrobatics against Juventus. Or Riley McGree’s scorpion kick in the A-League. Or… you get the idea.

And we weren’t the only ones who thought it was a travesty:
