Mohamed Salah breaks Steven Gerrard’s record to become Liverpool’s most Premier League assist provider

Egypt star Mohamed Salah added another historic achievement to his legendary career with Liverpool after becoming the club’s all-time leading assist provider in the Premier League during his final appearance for the Reds.

The Egyptian superstar reached the remarkable milestone in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Brentford at Anfield, where he produced the decisive pass for Curtis Jones to score.

That assist took Salah’s Premier League tally to 93, moving him ahead of Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard, who previously held the record with 92 assists.

According to OptaJoe, Salah now stands alone as Liverpool’s highest assist provider in Premier League history — yet another extraordinary accomplishment in what has been one of the greatest individual eras ever witnessed at Anfield.

While Salah has long been celebrated for his incredible goal-scoring ability, this latest record highlights another dimension of his game that has often been overshadowed by his finishing. Over the years, the Egyptian has consistently combined goals with creativity, evolving into one of the most complete attacking players in world football.

Since arriving at Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017, Salah has rewritten the club’s history books with astonishing consistency. He became one of the Premier League’s deadliest forwards, terrorising defenders with his pace, movement and technical quality while also developing into a reliable creator for his teammates.

Breaking Gerrard’s long-standing assist record carries enormous significance given the legendary status of the former Liverpool captain. Gerrard was widely regarded as the heartbeat of Liverpool for more than a decade, contributing countless memorable assists during his iconic career. For Salah to surpass such a revered figure further cements his place among the greatest players ever to wear the famous red shirt.

The timing of the milestone also made the moment even more emotional. Achieving the record during his final appearance for Liverpool added a symbolic ending to an unforgettable chapter in the club’s history. Anfield supporters witnessed one last historic contribution from a player who has delivered countless magical moments throughout his time on Merseyside.

Salah’s impact at Liverpool extends far beyond statistics. During his spell at the club, he helped the Reds reclaim their place among Europe’s elite, winning major honours including the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

Individually, he has collected numerous awards and records, including multiple Golden Boots and becoming one of the highest-scoring players in Premier League history. However, surpassing Gerrard’s assist tally demonstrates that his influence was never limited to scoring alone.

Throughout his Liverpool career, Salah formed devastating attacking partnerships with several teammates, consistently creating chances with his vision, intelligence and unselfish play. Whether cutting inside from the right wing, delivering dangerous crosses or threading precise passes into the box, he repeatedly proved capable of changing matches both as a scorer and creator.

For Liverpool fans, Salah’s departure marks the end of a truly historic era. Few players have transformed a club’s fortunes in such dramatic fashion while simultaneously building a personal legacy filled with records and trophies.

Now, with 93 Premier League assists and counting no more for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah leaves Anfield not only as one of the club’s greatest goalscorers, but also officially its greatest creator in Premier League history.
