Mohamed Salah Becomes Liverpool's All-Time Top Scorer in the Premier League
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has become the club’s all-time top scorer in the Premier League.
The Egyptian international scored his 72nd goal in the top-flight against West Ham on Monday night, surpassing the previous record held by Steven Gerrard.
Salah has scored 72 goals in just 104 appearances for the Reds, averaging a goal every 1.44 games.
The 28-year-old has been a revelation since arriving at Anfield from Roma in 2017, winning the Premier League Golden Boot in each of his first three seasons and scoring the winning penalty in last season’s Champions League final.
Salah’s goals have been crucial to Liverpool’s success in recent years, with the Reds winning the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup since his arrival.
The forward has also become a fan favourite at Anfield, with his goals and celebrations becoming iconic.
Salah’s record-breaking goal against West Ham was his 15th of the season, and he is now just two goals away from equalling his best-ever tally of 32 goals in a single Premier League campaign.
