Mahrez overtakes Drogba and offers a legendary record in the Premier League!
Riyad Mahrez provided an assist to Kevin De Bruyne against Liverpool this Saturday. The Algerian thus becomes the best African passer in the history of the Premier League with 56 assists. He then surpassed Didier Drogba, the former record holder with 55 assists.
The record held by Drogba was a remarkable feat, but Mahrez eventually managed to surpass it by contributing significantly to the performance of his team, Manchester City. Since joining the Premier League in 2014 with Leicester City, Mahrez has been a key player for his successive teams.
His exceptional technical skills, his vision of the game and his creativity allowed him to score goals and create chances for his teammates.
Le Fennec also surpassed big-name players such as Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Emmanuel Adebayor and Yaya Touré to become the best African assist provider in Premier League history. This is not only a personal achievement for Mahrez, but it is also a source of pride for Algeria.
