Mohamed Salah, the star of Liverpool, continues to lead the list of scorers in the English Premier League, pulling ahead of his closest competitors with 6 goals.
Salah scored a goal and made a decisive assist to bring Liverpool to a 2-0 victory over hosts Manchester City, extending the gap from second-placed Arsenal to 11 points in the English football league on Sunday. The Egyptian international gave Liverpool the lead in the 14th minute after a penalty kick taken by Alexis Mac Allister and reached to Donyell Malen, who provided a pass for Salah to send it into the net. The referee disallowed a superb goal from novice Egyptian Omar Marmoush in the City box just after half an hour due to offside. Salah made a decisive assist for the second goal from Solovey in the 37th minute after a well-organized attack by Liverpool, including several consecutive passes that Salah used for positioning in the City penalty area, before passing the ball to Solovey, who brilliantly struck into the bottom left corner.
In this way, Salah continues to make history with Liverpool, moving to third place in the club's scoring list in various competitions, having reached 241 goals in all tournaments since his transition to the red team in 2017 from Roma, equaling the number of goals with the legendary player Gordon Hodgson, who scored the same number of goals for the club from 1926 to 1935. Currently, Salah is only behind Roger Hunt, who scored 285 goals for Liverpool, and legendary striker Ian Rush, who netted 346 goals. Salah is the player for Liverpool who scored the most goals away from Anfield in one season in league history, equaling the record set by Jimmy Smith, who scored 15 goals in the 1929-1930 season. Salah is recognized as the best player for Liverpool in encounters with Manchester City in the history of the English league, scoring 9 goals and providing 6 assists for a total of 15 goals.
In addition, Salah increased his goal tally this season in all tournaments to 30 goals, and also made 21 goal assists for his teammates. Already for the sixth time in a row, he scored in the match of the English championship, and Salah solidified his lead in the tournament's scoring chart, extending the gap to 25 goals from the nearest contenders, Norwegian Erling Haaland and Swedish Alexander Isak, who play for Manchester City and Newcastle United respectively. This goal is the 182nd of the Egyptian's career, as fans of Liverpool refer to him, in the English league, leaving only two goals behind Argentine Sergio Agüero, who occupies the fourth place in the list of all-time scorers in this prestigious tournament, also becoming the best among foreign players for goals in the league's history.
