He ended up winning the Premier Leagues Golden Boot, however some football fans were not happy, and here they expressed their thoughts.
When you realise Salah’s Puskas ‘goal of the year’ wasn’t even the best goal at Anfield that season… pic.twitter.com/CxJQHnBULY

Salah winning the Puskás is the greatest injustice since… Rodriguez winning it instead of Tim Cahill in 2014.

Absolutely ridiculous. Look at the winners over the years. You see Salah’s type of goal nearly every week. #puskasaward

Salah won the puskas award surpassing both Ronaldo’s & Bsle’s bicycle kick says a lot about how this award is a joke.

Saw the Salah goal that won. Messi does that on a regular. Streets is done.Ron or Bale for me.

?? Premier League goal of the month in December…
– 1st place: Defoe against Crystal Palace
– 2nd place: Mo Salah against Everton (Goal that was last night awarded the Puskas award)
How on earth did Salah win that last night. pic.twitter.com/Z5ExfdGcJA

I still can’t swallow the fact that Mo Salah won the Puśkas Award. It should’ve been Ben Pavard. Mo Salah’s shouldnt be in the list pun.

Salah’s goal to win the puskas award has got to be the worst ever winner
— Alfie lines (@A_lines1) September 25, 2018
This is @FIFAcom @fifacom_es wanting to award Salah something, and this was the easier medal to give
— Everton Premier League stats (@EvertonLeague) September 25, 2018
Arjan Robben scores goals like this all the time, the goal isn’t even as remotely good as Robben’s goals, and Salah wins it, meanwhile Cristiano Ronaldo scores a beautiful goal against a top team like Juventus in the UCL, and they don’t pick him, FIFA you are pathetic!
— Eddie Arfa ?? (@GEREddie) September 25, 2018
Salah’s goal wasn’t even able to win the best goal in the EPL so am amazed how it was voted as the best by FIFA. Ronaldo’s stunning overhead goal against Juventus should have won it but FIFA knows better ? #TheBest
— #AUGUST25/TEAMVIRGO (@fadeyiolayinka) September 25, 2018
I’m a Liverpool and this goal wasn’t even Salah’s best of the season. Bales over head kick beats it too
— Pedro (@peds984) September 25, 2018
Weird mate . Salah goal didn’t even get pl goal of the month when he scored it
— luke regan (@lukeregz24) September 25, 2018
If we are being honest, Messi scores that Salah’s goal every other week.
— J-Boy (@j_yd_n) September 25, 2018
That wasn’t even salah best goal the one against Roma was better and his goal vs Spurs was better ?

Still trying to work out how Salah got the Puskas like pic.twitter.com/sIl1fMgfrZ

After a wonderful season, they had to find a trophy for Salah.
— Allan Abbas (@AllanAbbas) September 25, 2018
Every Puskas goal since 2009.
Just look at Salah’s compared to the rest.
Ridiculous that FIFA allows fan voting on this type of thing. pic.twitter.com/p6LxEQmYfE

With Luka Modric winning FIFA player of the year, FIFA is owing Sneijder #TheFIFA player of the year award. With Salah winning Puskas, FIFA is owing Arjen Robben over 10 Puskas awards, because what Salah won Puskas for, is what Robben was doing regularly with no hassle.
