Mohamed Salah outlines Steven Gerrard aim after latest Liverpool milestone

Mohamed Salah says he is "proud" at drawing level with Robbie Fowler as Liverpool's sixth all-time top goalscorer - but admits he is keen to hunt down Steven Gerrard and Billy Liddell.

Salah fired in his 183rd goal for the Reds during Saturday's 3-2 Premier League victory over Nottingham Forest at Anfield, which saw him move level with Toxteth-born Fowler. The Egyptian's latest remarkable feat of his Anfield career comes despite having played 71 times less than the player named by fans as 'God', who turned out 369 times across two separate spells for Liverpool.

The triumph over relegation-threatened Forest came days after Salah's two-goal haul at Elland Road in the 6-1 win over Leeds United saw him cement his name as the highest-scoring left-footer in Premier League history, and weeks after his brace in the 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United saw him become the Reds' all-time leading Premier League goalscorer. Both records had been snatched from Fowler.
