2018 FIFA Puskás Award
The 2018 FIFA Puskás Award was the tenth FIFA Puskás Award. It was awarded on September 24, 2018, during the The Best FIFA Football Awards 2018 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, United Kingdom. Liverpool player Mohamed Salah was the winner of the award, for his goal against Everton during the 2017–18 Premier League season. The Puskás award was decided by fans until 2019 because of controversy in the 2018 award going to Mohamed Salah, instead of the goals Cristiano Ronaldo scored against Juventus, and Gareth Bale against Liverpool in the champions league final.
