The strike marked his 35th penalty for Liverpool, surpassing Billy Liddell’s long-standing record of 34.

It also moved Salah past Andy Cole, making him the Premier League’s fourth all-time top scorer with 188 goals.

While Burnley’s players were left devastated by the late blow, Salah’s celebration reflected both relief and pride—once again underlining his reputation as Liverpool’s penalty king and one of the league’s most prolific forwards.
