Marmoush 1-0 Salah: Manchester City man tops Liverpool star in key stat

Omar Marmoush opened his account in emphatic style as Manchester City defeated Newcastle 4-0.

Manchester City have been inconsistent throughout the season, but the arrival of Omar Marmoush looks to be an inspired signing and one that could potentially seal a top-four spot for the reigning champions.

Marmoush, an Egyptian international, is flying the flag of the Pharaohs in the Premier League, just like his compatriot Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.

Salah has had a phenomenal season, and his goals and assists have put Liverpool on the cusp of their second league title in five years.

Marmoush' hat trick against Newcastle saw him accomplish something Salah is yet to do this season.

The Egyptian has 22 league goals but is yet to score a treble, whereas Marmoush needed just 3 games to hit the milestone.

Both stars will form a scary duo for Egypt at the next AFCON, but for now, they must enjoy this healthy rivalry in what could be Salah's last season.
