Egypt international Mohamed Salah set another milestone in the Premier League following his penalty goal in the 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.
The red hot Salah is now joint-seventh on the Premier League's all-time top goalscorers list. His goal against the Red Devils enabled him to move level with Thierry Henry by scoring his 175th goal in the competition.
With a 70th-minute finish from the penalty spot at Anfield, Salah took his overall tally for the Reds against United to 16 – seven more than any other player in the fixture's history.
No player in Premier League history has produced more goals (13) and assists (six) versus United than the Pharaoh. So far in this season, Salah has made 27 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 21 goals, making 17 assists and raking in 2238 minutes of playtime.
Salah’s remarkable levels of consistency have seen him score 231 goals and register 104 assists in just 375 appearances for the Reds since his arrival from AS Roma in the summer of 2017.
In a recent interview with the club’s official website, Salah downplayed his Golden Boot ambitions. “The fourth would be quite tricky because there are too many strikers who are scoring too many goals and they are also doing a great job.
“Winning it three times is, I think, something incredible because usually wingers in the Premier League win it once maximum. So, I have won it three times [and that is] something I don’t take for granted. I am very, very humble and very privileged.”
