Mohamed Salah equals Trabzonspor scoring record after sensational start to Turkish league campaign

Egyptian international Mohamed Salah is enjoying a remarkable spell with Trabzonspor, producing a series of outstanding performances that have made him one of the standout players in the Turkish Super Lig this season.

The Egyptian forward was once again at the centre of attention last Saturday when he inspired Trabzonspor to a commanding 4-0 victory over Galatasaray in the sixth round of the Turkish league.

Salah delivered a spectacular individual performance, scoring a hat-trick and providing an assist as Trabzonspor dismantled their opponents.

His four-goal contributions on the night further underlined the influence he has had since the beginning of the campaign, with the Egyptian quickly establishing himself as a key figure in Trabzonspor’s attacking setup.

Salah has now scored seven goals in the opening six rounds of the Turkish league, a tally that sees him at the top of the competition’s scoring charts.

The 33-year-old has also written his name into Trabzonspor’s history with his impressive start to the season. He has become only the second player in the club’s history to score seven goals across the opening six rounds of a Turkish league campaign.

The first player to achieve the feat was former Turkey international Burak Yilmaz, who scored seven goals during the first six rounds of the 2017/18 season.

Salah’s contribution to Trabzonspor’s attack has been particularly significant, with the Egyptian responsible for 54 percent of the club’s goals in the Turkish league so far this season.

That statistic highlights the extent to which the experienced forward has influenced Trabzonspor’s performances, with his goals and assists proving crucial to their strong start.

Following his stunning display against Galatasaray, Salah will now look to maintain his scoring form and continue making history with Trabzonspor.

With seven goals already to his name, the Egyptian Pharaoh has made an explosive start to his Turkish adventure and will be determined to add to his tally as the season progresses.
