Riyad Mahrez is on course to break a new African record in the Premier League. Indeed, he could dethrone the Ivorian legend Didier Drogba to become the best African passer in the history of the English championship.
If Manchester City is running at full speed, it is thanks to the great form displayed by its executives. We quote in particular Riyad Mahrez. On an impressive upward curve, he was the great architect of his team’s last victories.
In the last match against Wolverhampton, the Greens striker contributed to the success of his team, which won easily with a final score of three goals to nil. Indeed, he delivered an assist to Erling Haaland. Suddenly, he becomes the second best African decisive passer in the Premier League with 55 assists.
Thus, he is on the way to breaking a new record in the most exclusive championship in the world. While the rest of the season promises to be long, he could dethrone the Ivorian legend Didier Drogba, who is at 56 “assists”. This will allow the captain of the national team to enter the history of English football. Only, he will have in front of him a serious competitor, in this case the Egyptian Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool striker is at 51 assists and also claims to take the lead in the standings.
5 goals and 2 assists in 3 weeks, Riyadh announces the color
Riyad Mahrez has been gaining momentum since the resumption of official competition last December after the World Cup break. Indeed, he has had good performances with Manchester City.
In the last three weeks, he managed to score 5 goals and deliver 2 assists. Statistics which largely plead in his favor and which allowed him to establish himself again as an essential element within the band of Pep Guardiola.
Obviously, the last truce did a lot of good for the Algerian international. Having found his best level, we can predict a great return phase with the Citizens.
