In recent weeks it has felt like Mohamed Salah has been breaking Liverpool records on a weekly basis.
This season alone, he has overtaken Michael Owen, Sir Kenny Dalglish and Robbie Fowler in the Reds’ all-time top goalscorers charts, while his early winner against Brentford last weekend saw him move level with Steven Gerrard on 186 goals in fifth place. The strike against the Bees was his 30th goal of the season and also his 100th Anfield goal, while it saw him become the first Liverpool player to score in nine consecutive home matches.
Just a couple of weeks earlier, against Leeds United, the Egyptian had overtaken Fowler to become the scorer of the most left-footed goals in Premier League history. Meanwhile, he has 13 goals from his last 16 starts to help lead the Reds’ late surge for an unlikely top-four finish.
