After becoming the Reds' leading Premier League goalscorer, the Egyptian unquestionably belongs among the club's best ever players...
The Egyptian loves playing against Manchester United, and he had a field day on Sunday, scoring twice, assisting twice and setting yet another personal record in the process. With 129 goals, the 30-year-old is now the Reds’ all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League.
Six seasons into his Anfield career, Salah continues to set the most exacting of standards. In each of those campaigns, he has reached 20 goals in all competitions – he now has 22 this term – and he has reached double figures for assists in all-but-one of them as well. His output, quite frankly, is absurd.
Against United, Salah cemented his status as the fixture's all-time leading scorer, becoming the first Reds player ever to score in five successive league games against their fierce rivals. In those five games, he has scored nine and assisted four.
He contributed directly to four of the Reds’ seven goals on Sunday. First, he finished a mesmerising run down the right with a perfect pass for Gakpo to make it 3-0. Then, he took advantage of a kind deflection off Scott McTominay to hammer home a right-foot strike via the underside of the bar for 4-0.
