African players in Europe: Salah rescues Reds after special season
Mohamed Salah completed a memorable season by scoring to salvage a 1-1 Premier League draw for champions Liverpool against Crystal Palace in the final round at the weekend. It was the 29th goal of the season for the Premier League Golden Boot winner and the 32-year-old Egypt captain also claimed 18 assists. Apart from a record-equalling fourth Golden Boot, Salah won the English football writers and Professional Footballers' Association player of the year awards. AFP Sport highlights African headline-makers in the major European leagues: ENGLAND MOHAMED SALAH (Liverpool) Liverpool were heading for defeat when Salah delighted the Anfield faithful by bundling the ball home six minutes from time to help secure a 1-1 draw with FA Cup winners Crystal Palace. ISMAILA SARR (Crystal Palace) The Senegal forward threatened to upset Liverpool's trophy celebrations when he beat Alisson Becker in the ninth minute. ANTOINE SEMENYO (Bournemouth) The Ghana forward struck twice in the final 15 minutes to give Bournemouth a 2-0 win over relegated Leicester City. He scored from close range to break the deadlock, then struck with a precise finish from the edge of the area. AMAD DIALLO (Manchester United) The exciting young Ivorian winger nodded a superb Bruno Fernandes cross into the net to put United ahead on 73 minutes and they struck again for a 2-0 win over 10-man Aston Villa, who had goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez sent off just before half-time. MOHAMMED KUDUS (West Ham) The Ghana star set the seal on the Hammers' 3-1 win at relegated Ipswich when, after exchanging passes with Guido Rodriguez, he bent a shot beyond goalkeeper Christian Walton in the 87th minute. BRYAN MBEUMO (Brentford) The Cameroon striker opened the scoring for the Bees against Wolves with his 20th goal of the season after Algerian international Rayan Ait-Nouri was caught in possession. But a 1-1 draw ended the London club's slim hopes of European qualification. MARSHALL MUNETSI (Wolves) It was the Zimbabwe midfielder who dashed Brentford's dreams of continental competition with a superb first-time finish from 20 yards into the top corner 15 minutes from time. SPAIN YAN DIOMANDE (Leganes) The 18-year-old winger from the Ivory Coast sparkled as Leganes beat Real Valladolid 3-0 but were still relegated. Diomande teed up Javi Hernandez for the opener and then scored a fine second himself. The winger drove into the box, dodged a defender and finished neatly for his second goal in four matches. PAPE GUEYE (Villarreal) Senegal midfielder Gueye doubled his La Liga goals tally for the season with a brace as Villarreal romped to a 4-2 win against Sevilla. His first was a drilled strike from the edge of the box for the Yellow Submarine's second, and the second a lethal close-range finish to wrap up the win. Gueye has been an important part of Villarreal's rise to fifth and Champions League qualification. FRANCE ACHRAF HAKIMI (Paris Saint-Germain)

Quebec Superior Court authorizes class action over traffic stops without reason
A Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class-action suit brought on behalf of racialized people who were stopped while behind the wheel by police without reason to suspect an offence. Justice Catherine Piché authorized the lawsuit in a ruling rendered last month, which targets police in eight defendant cities and the Quebec attorney general, which represents the provincial police. The list of defendants covers police patrolling much of the province, including its largest cities — Montreal and surrounding suburbs, Gatineau and Quebec City. 'It follows that even if we remain cautious at this stage ... the present request appears to me to be anything but frivolous,' Piché wrote. The lawsuit was filed in November 2022 by Papa Ndianko Gueye, following a stop in Longueuil. He represents 'any racialized person who has been the victim of racial profiling during a traffic stop without reason to suspect the commission of an offence by the police services of one of the defendant cities or by the Quebec provincial police since May 23, 2019.' Gueye alleges he was stopped while driving his white Audi on March 26, 2021, but didn't commit a traffic violation. The officer told him he'd stopped him for driving over the speed limit, and Gueye alleged the officer became aggressive and summoned backup quickly. A few days after the stop, he went to the police station to ask about the interception, but was told police did not have any record of it. He received three tickets in the mail, including one for speeding. He alleges the interception was based on 'no genuine motive' and characterized it as racial profiling. The class action was filed in November 2022, two weeks after a landmark decision by Quebec Superior Court Justice Michel Yergeau in a case seeking to have a common law rule allowing Canadian police to stop drivers for no reason to be declared unconstitutional. Yergeau sided with Joseph-Christopher Luamba, a Montrealer of Haitian descent, ruling racial profiling exists and is a reality weighing heavily on Black people. Yergeau's ruling effectivly nullified Section 636 of the province's Highway Safety Code, which gives officers discretionary power to stop any vehicle without reason. 'The preponderant evidence shows that over time, the arbitrary power granted to the police to carry out roadside stops without cause has become for some of them a vector, even a safe conduit for racial profiling against the Black community,' Yergeau wrote in October 2022. 'The rule of law thus becomes a breach through which this sneaky form of racism rushes in.' Gueye's lawyers include a combination of the same lawyers in the Luamba case. His filing alleges police forces in those cities systematically exercised this power in a discriminatory manner in violation of the rights and freedoms of those falling under the class. The Quebec government has appealed the Luamba ruling, arguing it deprived police of an important tool to stop crime, but the Court of Appeal upheld Yergeau's decision last year and gave the province six months to make the necessary changes to the Highway Safety Code. Quebec's Public Security Department announced last month most random traffic stops by police had been suspended, after the Court of Appeal refused to grant an extension. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court of Canada agreed to hear a case about whether it's constitutional for police to make a random traffic stop without reasonable suspicion the driver has committed an offence. In the Gueye case, the parties are expected before the Superior Court sometime in the next two months for a hearing. This story was originally published May 10, 2025 at 6:05 PM.
