Mohamed Salah continues to etch his name into Premier League history, reaching yet another milestone with his double against Southampton on Saturday.
The Liverpool forward not only equalled the record for the most combined goals and assists in a single season (44), but he also matched Sergio Agüero’s tally of 184 Premier League goals.
A historic achievement
With this latest achievement, Salah has now entered the top five all-time scorers in Premier League history.
The Egyptian star, who has been Liverpool’s talisman since his arrival from Roma in 2017, is expected to surpass Agüero’s record before the season concludes.
Given his consistency and prolific goal-scoring ability, he remains on course to break even more records in the coming months.
Speaking after the match, Salah reflected on his accomplishment. “I didn’t think about it while I was playing. It’s a good step to equal him! Sergio is a great player, he was a legend here in the Premier League. So I’m happy about that,” he said.
Salah’s dominance in the Premier League
Salah’s influence on Liverpool’s success has been undeniable.
His ability to score crucial goals, provide key assists, and deliver in high-pressure moments has cemented his status as one of the league’s greatest-ever players.
His brace against Southampton took his Premier League goal tally for the season to 27 in just 28 appearances.
With ten games still remaining in the campaign, he has a strong chance of further increasing his numbers and setting new benchmarks.
Chasing more records
While matching Agüero’s record is a significant feat, Salah is unlikely to stop there.
His focus will now be on surpassing the Argentine and continuing his climb up the Premier League’s all-time goal-scoring charts.
Beyond individual accolades, he will also be determined to help Liverpool maintain their title challenge and push for silverware.
As Salah continues his remarkable journey in English football, the question is no longer whether he will break more records, but rather how many he will set before his time in the Premier League comes to an end.
