Egypt forward Mohamed Salah etched his name into Liverpool’s history books Sunday, scoring his 100th away goal for the club in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.
The two-time African Footballer of the Year’s second-half double proved crucial, helping the Reds extend their Premier League lead to eight points and joining an elite group of Liverpool strikers.
The milestone places Salah in distinguished company alongside club legends Ian Rush and Roger Hunt, the only other Liverpool players to achieve such a remarkable feat.
Rush leads the all-time away goals tally with 161, while Hunt contributed 112 during his illustrious career. Salah’s overall scoring record now stands at an impressive 223 goals in 367 appearances across all competitions.
The match itself showcased Salah’s clinical finishing abilities. With Liverpool trailing 2-1 in the second half, he demonstrated his worth by executing a skillful equalizer before stepping up to convert a decisive penalty in the closing minutes.
The victory strengthens Liverpool’s grip on the Premier League title race and further cements Salah’s legacy as one of the club’s most prolific goalscorers.
