Mohamed Salah's stunning strike vs. Chelsea up for Premier League award

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has received a nomination for April's Premier League Goal of the Month award for his stunning 25-yard strike against Chelsea.

With the Reds 1-0 up through Sadio Mane's header, the 26-year-old took the game beyond Maurizio Sarri's men with a piledriver that found the top corner. The game ended 2-0.

Salah will battle for the accolade against Will Hughes, Eden Hazard, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Gonzalo Higuain, Christian Eriksen, Dan Gosling and Ryan Babel.
