Salah Liverpool record
Egyptian Salah breaks 100-year-old Liverpool record
Egyptian Mohamed Salah has broken a handful of records after his goal against Manchester United in the Premier League on Thursday night.
Salah scored a late goal in Liverpool’s 4-2 win over Manchester United in the Premier League. The three points could prove to be crucial for the Reds, who are still fighting for a chance to finish in the top four.
This was the Egypt international’s 30th across all competitions this season, which moved him up the Premier League goal scoring charts to equal Tottenham’s Harry Kane with 21 goals, putting him a step closer to winning his third Golden Boot.
The 28-year-old now has 96 Premier League goals to his name, surpassing Nigerian legend Yakubu as the third all-time African scorer in England’s top division, while also equaling Raheem Sterling’s record in the competition.

- Additionally, this was his 200th appearance with Liverpool which marked his 170th direct goal contribution [124 goals and 46 assists].
This win over Manchester United marks Liverpool’s first victory over their bitter rivals at Old Trafford since 2014.
By scoring the final goal of the encounter Salah became the first Liverpool player in 100 years to score in two different matches at Old Trafford in a single season. He scored a brace earlier this year when Liverpool lost 3-2 in the 4th round of the FA Cup.
