Mohamed Salah Sets New Premier League Record with Assist Against Tottenham
Liverpool’s Egyptian talisman continues to make history, achieving a unique Premier League milestone during the Reds’ emphatic victory over Tottenham.
What Happened?
In Liverpool’s 5-1 demolition of Tottenham, Mohamed Salah delivered a remarkable assist for Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal just before halftime. This contribution made Salah the first player in Premier League history to record at least 10 goals and 10 assists in four consecutive league campaigns. Furthermore, he became the only player to achieve this feat before Christmas Day.
The Bigger Picture
Salah’s brilliance didn’t stop at the assist. In the second half, the 32-year-old winger netted a quickfire brace, extending Liverpool’s lead and solidifying their dominance. These two goals also propelled him to fourth on Liverpool’s all-time scoring list with 229 goals, surpassing Billy Liddell. Only club legends Gordon Hodgson, Roger Hunt, and Ian Rush remain ahead of him.
Did You Know?
With Chelsea being held to a goalless draw against Everton earlier in the day, Liverpool now enjoys a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, with a game in hand, heading into Christmas.
