Salah's record

Salah has the most goals and assists in a season in the Premier League.

At Anfield, the Egyptian striker did not score but assisted Luis Diaz to open the scoring in the 18th minute. Salah has contributed to 45 goals in the Premier League this season, surpassing the previous record of Thierry Henry (2002/03) and Erling Haaland (2022/23), both of whom stopped at 44.

Salah now has 27 goals and 18 assists, and is closing in on the all-time record for most assists in a single season in the top flight. The previous record was held by Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole with 47, but in a 42-game season.

This is a resounding response to doubts about Salah's future earlier this season when he hinted at the possibility of leaving and almost moved to Al Ittihad. The Saudi Arabian team had put £150 million on the negotiating table in the summer of 2023 but Liverpool rejected it.

The "Egyptian King" receives a salary of 400,000 pounds per week, a significant increase compared to the previous figure of 350,000 pounds/week. Salah enjoys a record-high salary in Liverpool's history and is equal to Kevin De Bruyne at Man City. Currently, Erling Haaland is the highest paid player in the league when Man City pays him 500,000 pounds per week.

Speaking after extending his contract with the Reds for another two years, Salah shared his feelings: "I have had the best years of my career here. Now I want to continue enjoying football and winning more titles with the team. I stay because I believe Liverpool has many great things ahead."

Liverpool also benefited greatly from Salah's decision, as they entered the crucial sprint phase in the Premier League title race and conquered more titles. The 2-1 victory over West Ham helped "The Kop" almost secure the championship. After 32 matches, Liverpool is 13 points ahead of Arsenal with only 6 rounds left in the season.
