Liverpool soars, Salah continues to break records

A 6-3 victory over Tottenham helped Liverpool solidify their position at the top of the table, and Mohamed Salah himself set a series of records.

Last night, Liverpool and Tottenham created a match with 9 goals scored. Despite playing away, Arne Slot’s team still showed their flying form and impressive scoring ability.

Just counting Salah, he had 32 touches, passed the ball with 71% accuracy, made 3 decisive passes, created 2 chances, scored 2 goals and had 2 assists for his teammates to score.

The Egyptian star’s brilliant performance helped The Kop collapse Tottenham’s holy land. Not only that, he also continued to break 3 Premier League records.

Mohamed Salah became the first player to reach 10 goals and 10 assists before Christmas. At the same time, he also became the first name to do this in 4 consecutive seasons in the Premier League.

In the broader context of the highest level of English football, Salah has done this 6 times, an achievement that no other player has been able to reach. The old milestone was held by Man United legend Wayne Rooney with 5 times.

Yesterday’s double helped the Egyptian striker rise to the top of the list of top scorers this season with 15 goals, surpassing Erling Haaland by 2 goals. Mohamed Salah also won the Premier League Golden Boot 3 times in 2018, 2019 and 2022.

If he continues to maintain this scoring record, the 32-year-old striker will have won the title of Top Scorer 4 times, equaling the achievement of legend Thierry Henry.

In terms of assists, Salah is also leading the league with 11 times, one more than Bukayo Saka. The Egyptian striker currently has 80 assists in the Premier League, which puts him in the top 10 of the all-time list of passers in the competition, tied with David Beckham.

With confidence soaring and Arne Slot’s system working smoothly, Mohamed Salah could well win the Golden Boot and Premier League Assist King award this season, repeating his 2021/22 record of 23 goals and 13 assists.
