Mohamed Salah continues to dazzle this season, scoring a brace in Liverpool’s commanding 6-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday, propelling him past Erling Haaland in the Premier League Golden Boot race.
With 15 goals and 11 assists so far, the Egyptian forward is on track to claim both the Golden Boot and Playmaker awards for the second consecutive year, just as he did in 2022.
RECORD-BREAKING EGYPTIAN KING
Salah’s performance has been nothing short of extraordinary. In his past 12 matches, he’s scored 12 goals, contributing to a total of 33 goal involvements (18 goals and 15 assists) across all competitions – more than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues.
His latest achievement came with three Premier League records: becoming the first player to reach double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas, the first to do so for four consecutive seasons, and the first to achieve this feat in six seasons, surpassing Wayne Rooney’s five.
While his contract situation remains uncertain with his deal expiring this summer, Salah is showing no signs of slowing down.
His current form puts him in striking distance of becoming the fourth player to score 20 goals in five Premier League seasons, a milestone only Thierry Henry has previously achieved.
In terms of all-time Premier League rankings, Salah is already considered one of the greats, sitting eighth on the list of top scorers with 172 goals.
His 252 goal involvements in 279 appearances put him seventh in the all-time rankings, ahead of legends like Henry and Wayne Rooney, and with a goal involvement rate better than any player ahead of him.
As Mohamed Salah eyes further records, the big question remains: will he stay at Liverpool, or is a move on the horizon?
Either way, his place in Premier League history is already secure, and with every game, he continues to add to his legacy.
