Drogba hails ‘new kings on the block’ Salah & Mane

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has welcomed the new “Kings on the block” in Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, among the most successful African finishers in Premier League history.

This is after Liverpool forward Salah surpassed Drogba's 104 goals in the top-flight.

The 29-year-old Egypt international became the top-scoring African player in Premier League history after notching a hat-trick in the 5-0 demolition of Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Heading into the fixture, Salah and Drogba were tied on 104 goals but the Liverpool forward turned on the screw to score three and reach a new tally of 107 goals.

His first goal came in the 38th minute which meant he had already overtaken the former Ivory Coast captain but he did not stop there as he scored two more goals in the 45th and 50th minutes.
