Mohamed Salah delivered another masterclass on Sunday, spearheading Liverpool’s commanding 2-0 lead over Manchester City with a goal and an assist, as the Egyptian forward continued his remarkable record-breaking season.
In a high-stakes Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium, Salah once again proved pivotal, further cementing his status as one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players.
The 31-year-old’s clinical finish and perfectly timed assist not only guided the Reds towards victory but also etched his name deeper into Premier League history.
With this standout performance, Salah’s tally for the season has now soared to an astonishing 51 goal contributions across all competitions—30 goals and 21 assists in just 38 appearances.
These figures underline his immense influence on Liverpool’s attacking prowess and reaffirm his position as one of the most consistent performers in European football.
Salah Equals Historic Away Record
Sunday’s goal also carried extra significance as Salah matched a long-standing Premier League record for the most away goals in a single season.
His 16th strike on the road this campaign equals the benchmark set by Kevin Phillips during the 1999-2000 season and later matched by Harry Kane in 2022-2023.
The Egyptian’s consistency, regardless of venue, highlights his relentless form. Whether dazzling under the Anfield lights or silencing hostile away crowds, Salah has remained a constant threat, making him one of the most feared forwards in the league.
Rewriting Premier League History
In yet another remarkable achievement, Salah has become the first player in Premier League history to be directly involved in over 40 goals in two separate seasons.
He initially reached this milestone during his debut season with Liverpool in 2017-2018, when he netted 32 goals and added 10 assists. This season, he has already recorded 25 goals and 15 assists in the league alone, with several games still remaining.
This level of sustained excellence places Salah in rarefied air, further strengthening his case as one of the all-time greats of English football.
His combination of lethal finishing, creative vision, and relentless work ethic has seen him break record after record since his arrival at Liverpool in 2017.
“A Legend of the Game”
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp was full of praise for his star forward following the match. “Mo is simply incredible. The consistency, the hunger, the numbers—he’s a legend, not just for Liverpool but for the Premier League. What he’s doing this season is phenomenal,” Klopp said.
Teammates echoed similar sentiments, with captain Virgil van Dijk calling Salah “the ultimate professional” and hailing his ability to “change games in an instant.”
Liverpool’s Title Hopes Soar
With the win over Manchester City, Liverpool strengthened their grip on the Premier League title race, closing the gap at the top and gaining vital momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.
Salah’s heroics have been central to their campaign, and his current form suggests he’ll continue to be the driving force behind Liverpool’s push for silverware.
As Salah keeps rewriting the record books, his legacy at Anfield—and in Premier League history—grows ever larger. With weeks left in the season, few would bet against him adding even more milestones to his glittering career.
