Mohamed Salah has once again etched his name in Premier League history, showcasing his remarkable consistency during Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town on the opening day of the season. The Egyptian forward was instrumental in the Reds’ triumph, contributing both a goal and an assist to secure three points in their first away match of the 2024/25 campaign.
Liverpool’s encounter with newly promoted Ipswich began with Salah playing a pivotal role.
In the first half, the 32-year-old delivered a precise assist to Diogo Jota, who capitalized on the opportunity to give Liverpool an early lead.
Salah then doubled the advantage later in the match, finding the back of the net to seal the win.
This latest performance saw Salah achieve yet another milestone, as he surpassed Premier League legends Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney in goal contributions.
According to Opta, Salah’s goal and assist against Ipswich mean that he has now either scored or assisted in every one of his eight Premier League Matchday 1 appearances, an extraordinary record that underscores his enduring impact at the highest level.
In total, Salah has now amassed more goals (9) and goal contributions (14) on Premier League opening days than any other player in the competition’s history.
This accomplishment not only highlights his consistency but also cements his status as one of the league’s all-time greats.
As the new season unfolds, Salah remains a crucial figure for Liverpool, even under new management.
Despite the changes at Anfield, the Egyptian star continues to be a key player for the Reds, and his performance against Ipswich suggests that he is well on his way to being one of the top scorers in the Premier League once again this season.
Liverpool fans will be encouraged by Salah’s early-season form, as they look to challenge for the Premier League title.
His ability to deliver in crucial moments has been a hallmark of his career, and this latest record is a testament to his skill, determination, and longevity.
As Salah continues to break records and set new standards in the Premier League, his influence on the game is undeniable.
The 2024/25 season promises to be another thrilling chapter in the career of one of football’s modern icons.
