Mohamed Salah has made history by becoming the first player in Premier League history to record at least 10 goals and 10 assists before Christmas. This incredible feat highlights Salah’s exceptional consistency and versatility.
Breaking Records: A Milestone Before Christmas
In a dominant performance against Tottenham, Salah provided a brilliant assist for Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal, followed by another assist for Luis Diaz, helping Liverpool to a commanding 6-1 victory. This made Salah the first ever Premier League player to achieve double figures in both goals and assists before the festive season, doing so in just 16 matches.
A Record-Breaking Season
Salah’s achievements don’t stop there. He has surpassed the legendary Billy Liddell to become Liverpool’s fourth-highest goalscorer in history, with a tally of 229 goals in 373 appearances. His current form sees him topping the Premier League’s Golden Boot race with 15 goals, ahead of Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer. He is also leading the assist charts with 11 assists.
Salah’s Impressive Stats and Influence
Beyond his on-field success, Salah has become indispensable for Liverpool, with an average of 1.63 goals per game – a better scoring rate than icons like Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. His all-around contribution continues to set him apart, as he leads the Premier League in FotMob ratings with a remarkable score of 8.24.
The Secret to His Success
Arne Slot, Salah’s manager, praises the Egyptian for his work ethic and his grounded nature. “He understands what it takes to maintain his level every three days,” Slot remarked. Salah’s commitment and consistency could lead him to break even more records, possibly even challenging Thierry Henry’s 2002/03 season tally of 20 assists and 24 goals.
As Salah continues to shine, he remains a key player in Liverpool’s quest for another Premier League title.
