Right upon his return after controversies, Mohamed Salah made Premier League history by becoming the player with the most goal involvements for a single club.
In the match between Liverpool and Brighton at Anfield, Mohamed Salah provided an assist to Hugo Ekitike, increasing his total Premier League goal involvements to 277. This figure allows Salah to surpass Wayne Rooney, who had 276 goal involvements for Manchester United. Specifically, Salah has scored 188 goals and made 89 assists for Liverpool in the Premier League, setting a new record for goal contributions at a single club.
Additionally, that assist helped Salah take the lead in the list of players with the most goal involvements at a single Premier League stadium. He has participated in 151 goals at Anfield, surpassing legends like Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney at Arsenal’s and Manchester United’s home grounds respectively.
Salah confirmed his crucial role in Liverpool’s lineup with an outstanding performance in the 2-0 win over Brighton, despite not starting the match.
Before the match, there were many rumors about a tense relationship between Salah and coach Arne Slot. However, Salah chose to answer all doubts with his performance on the pitch. Coming on as a substitute after Joe Gomez’s injury, he immediately shone, creating chances and directly contributing to his team’s victory.
The assist for Ekitike clearly demonstrated Salah’s team spirit and tireless dedication. After the match, he received a warm welcome from the Anfield crowd, showing his strong connection and irreplaceable importance to Liverpool.
The win against Brighton not only helped Liverpool regain winning momentum at Anfield after a difficult run but also marked a significant step forward for the team. With 26 points, Liverpool is now just a short distance from the top 4, opening hopes to climb higher in the standings.
Although challenges remain ahead, this victory provides a solid foundation for Liverpool to continue competing in the Premier League and aim for Champions League qualification. With a busy schedule during the Christmas period, Anfield fans can hope for positive results, especially in matches against Wolves and Leeds United.
