Liverpool’s talisman, Mohamed Salah, is on the brink of making Premier League history as he edges closer to breaking a long-standing record held by Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney.
Salah achieved a remarkable milestone during Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City last weekend. In that match, the Egyptian forward scored and assisted, marking the 36th time he has done so in a single Premier League game.
It is a feat that ties him with Rooney.
Salah’s contributions on the pitch have drawn comparisons to some of the game’s greats, including Rooney, who is widely regarded as one of the best British players of all time. Rooney achieved his record during his illustrious Premier League career, where he represented Manchester United and Everton FC.
To surpass Rooney and set a new Premier League benchmark, Salah needs to score and assist in just one more match. Given his current form, it seems only a matter of time before he claims this historic record outright.
Known for his incredible consistency and prolific goal-scoring ability, Salah’s performance further cements his status as one of the finest players in the league. The 31-year-old has been a standout figure for Liverpool this season, netting 11 goals in just 13 appearances.
He trails Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, the league’s top scorer, by only one goal in the race for the coveted Golden Boot.
