Mohamed Salah has cemented his name in Premier League history, becoming the first player to score and assist in eight matches within a single season. This incredible achievement comes just 18 games into the current campaign.
The win extends Liverpool’s lead at the top of the table to eight points, with Nottingham Forest surprisingly in second place after their triumph at Everton.
Salah’s contributions have been nothing short of spectacular this season. With 20 goals across all competitions in just 26 appearances, he continues to redefine excellence.
His latest record surpasses the seven-game milestone previously shared by Premier League legends such as Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, Robin van Persie, Harry Kane, and Bruno Fernandes.
Reflecting on his record-breaking feat, Salah remained focused on the bigger picture. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “The only thing in my mind is for Liverpool to win the league. I want to be part of that. We just need to stay focused, humble, and keep working hard.”
Liverpool’s resurgence under Arne Slot, who took over as manager in the summer, has been remarkable.
The Dutchman’s tactical brilliance has seen the Reds dominate both the Premier League and the Champions League. Salah’s phenomenal form has been pivotal, with Slot himself acknowledging his star player’s greatness.
“Looking at his numbers, you can’t argue,” Slot said about Salah’s claim as the best player in the world. “There’s so much quality out there, but Mo is definitely among the very best. Let’s hope he can maintain this level for a long time.”
As the season progresses, Liverpool’s relentless momentum and Salah’s unmatched brilliance could lead to a historic campaign for the Reds.
