It’s getting harder to write history without his name.
Mohamed Salah struck twice—once from the spot, then again with a curling dagger—to drag Liverpool past Bournemouth and tighten their grip on the Premier League summit.
But the victory did more than boost title hopes. It etched Salah deeper into the league’s sacred record books as reported in the Premier League Official
His first goal made Bournemouth the seventh team he’s scored 10+ goals against in the competition. Only Alan Shearer—who terrorised 12 different clubs—has done it more, OptaJoe stated in a tweet.
But Salah wasn’t done.
That brace took his Premier League tally to 178. He leaps past Frank Lampard into sixth on the all-time list, having started the season in 11th place. Along the way, he’s passed Henry, Fowler, Defoe.
The climb has been quiet. Ruthless. Royal.
His 20+ league goals this season mark the fifth time he’s hit that milestone—a feat only Thierry Henry, Harry Kane, Sergio Agüero, and Alan Shearer have reached as often or more according to Sky Sports
And still, the engine hums.
Across his club career, Salah now has 301 goals: 236 with Liverpool, the rest scattered across Basel, Fiorentina, Roma, and a brief Chelsea stint.
He’s also recorded 82 Premier League assists, including 13 this campaign—more than anyone else as noted in the Transfermarkt reports.
At 32, most players fade.
He’s charging towards Agüero’s 184 and Andy Cole’s 187. Fourth place, then third. Maybe more.
Salah isn’t just chasing records—he’s rewriting what it means to be great in English football.
