Mohamed Salah continues to etch his name in Liverpool’s history books, surpassing Gordon Hodgson to become the club’s third-highest goalscorer of all time with his 242nd goal in the Reds’ 3-1 Premier League victory over Southampton on Saturday.
Having drawn level with Hodgson (241 goals) after scoring in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester City at the Etihad, Salah wasted no time in moving ahead by finding the net against PSG in another milestone moment.
Now, only Ian Rush (346 goals) and Roger Hunt (285 goals) stand above him in Liverpool’s rich goalscoring history.
Salah’s Record-Breaking Feat
The Egyptian superstar has reached this incredible tally in just 390 appearances since arriving at Anfield from Roma in June 2017.
His goal breakdown across all competitions is staggering:
Premier League – 181 goals
Champions League – 45 goals
FA Cup – 6 goals
Europa League – 5 goals
Carabao Cup – 4 goals
Community Shield – 1 goal
Beyond his goalscoring heroics, Salah has also provided 109 assists, further cementing his status as one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players.
Matching Agüero’s Premier League Legacy
Salah’s goal against Southampton also saw him equal Sergio Agüero as the fifth-highest scorer in Premier League history and the top-scoring non-English player in the league’s history.
His consistent ability to deliver in crucial moments has made him a defining figure in the English top flight.
Liverpool’s Title Push and Salah’s Influence
Salah’s latest goal was crucial in Liverpool’s comeback win against bottom-placed Southampton at Anfield.
After Will Smallbone gave the visitors a shock lead, Darwin Núñez equalized before Salah converted a penalty to put Liverpool in front. His strike ensured Liverpool’s momentum in the title race remains intact.
As Jurgen Klopp’s side continues its pursuit of silverware, Salah’s influence, leadership, and goalscoring instinctsremain invaluable.
With more records in sight, the Egyptian King is far from done rewriting history at Anfield.
