Salah and Mane lead in race for Golden Boot

Liverpool pair's respective doubles send them above Sergio Aguero as Premier League’s leading scorers

The brace of goals each scored by both Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah against Huddersfield Town not only put Liverpool back above Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, but they also sent the pair into the top two places in the race for the Golden Boot.

Salah had been level with Sergio Aguero on 19 goals before his double at Anfield returned the Egyptian to the No 1 slot in defence of the award that was presented to him by Cadbury last season.

After hitting a record 32 goals last season, Salah has become only the third Liverpool player to score at least 20 Premier League goals in consecutive campaigns for the club, after Robbie Fowler, in 1994/95 and 1995/96, and Luis Suarez, 2012/13 and 2013/14.

Mane's double took the Senegalese above Aguero on 20 goals. It also made Liverpool the first club to have two players score at least 20 goals in a single Premier League season since the Reds themselves did so in 2013/14 through Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

With Naby Keita, of Guinea, opening the scoring after only 15 seconds, it meant that all five goals were scored by African players. That is the most by players from the continent in a Premier League match.

Focus will now turn to Aguero and City, who will have the chance to return back to their respective No 1 slots away to Burnley on Sunday.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
