Liverpool star Mohamed Salah set yet another Premier League record during the Merseyside derby against Everton on Wednesday night. The Egyptian winger, already one of the league’s most prolific players, added another milestone to his glittering career.
Salah’s Record-Breaking Assist
Liverpool entered the derby aiming to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table, sitting six points ahead of Arsenal before kickoff. However, they faced a tough start as Beto fired Everton into the lead in the 11th minute with a well-worked free-kick routine.
Liverpool responded quickly, and just five minutes later, Alexis Mac Allister equalized after a superb cross from Salah. The Egyptian’s assist not only helped Liverpool get back into the game, but it also cemented his place in Premier League history.
According to Opta, Salah now has 22 goal contributions (13 goals, 9 assists) in away matches this season—the most ever recorded in a single Premier League season.
Breaking a 31-Year-Old Record
Salah’s incredible away form saw him break a record that had stood for over three decades. Previously, the record belonged to Andy Cole, who managed 21 goal contributions during the 1993/94 season while playing for Newcastle United.
Now, with Liverpool still having multiple away fixtures left this season, Salah has plenty of opportunities to extend his tally even further.
Salah’s Outstanding Season Continues
At 31 years old, Salah continues to amaze with his consistency and influence in Liverpool’s attack. His overall goal contributions across all competitions this season already exceed 40, reinforcing his status as one of the greatest players in Premier League history.
With Liverpool in contention for the Premier League title, Salah’s contributions will be crucial as the season progresses. If he maintains this form, more records could soon fall at his feet.
What’s Next for Salah and Liverpool?
With Liverpool aiming to secure the league title, Salah’s form will be essential in their remaining games. Can he push his record-breaking tally even higher before the season ends? One thing is certain—Salah is showing no signs of slowing down.
