Mohamed Salah’s exceptional performance in Liverpool’s 3-2 victory over Southampton has further solidified his place among the Premier League’s elite goal scorers. The Egyptian international was pivotal in his team’s dramatic comeback, scoring twice to turn the tide in the 12th-round clash of the 2024-2025 season.

Salah’s goals, coming in the 64th and 82nd minutes, helped Liverpool secure the win after they had trailed 2-1.

His brace took his tally for the season to 10 goals, placing him just two goals behind the current Premier League top scorer, Erling Haaland, who leads with 12 goals. Salah’s contribution underscores his continued importance to Liverpool, who are aiming to maintain their title challenge.

Following matchday 12, the Premier League’s leading goal scorers are as follows:

Erling Haaland (Manchester City) – 12 goals
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – 10 goals
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) – 8 goals
Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest) – 8 goals
Yoane Wissa (Brentford) – 7 goals
Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) – 7 goals
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton) – 7 goals
Cole Palmer (Chelsea) – 7 goals

Salah’s performance is all the more remarkable considering his involvement in various competitions.

This season, he has made 18 appearances in total, scoring 10 goals and providing 12 assists.

His contribution has been crucial not just in the Premier League, but also across other fronts, helping maintain Liverpool’s competitive edge.

With his current contract with Liverpool set to run until June 2025, Salah’s future remains a topic of intrigue.

Since joining the club in the summer of 2017, he has become a key figure in Liverpool’s attacking line, and his form this season suggests he will continue to be a central player in their pursuit of more silverware.

As Salah closes the gap on Haaland at the top of the Premier League scoring chart, his goals continue to be vital in Liverpool’s push for the title, and the Egyptian forward will undoubtedly be looking to add to his tally as the season progresses.
