Liverpool's legendary winger Mohamed Salah has etched his name into Premier League history. In the 32nd round match against Fulham, the Egyptian reached the milestone of 250 goal contributions from open play (goals + assists).
The forward now boasts 157 goals and 93 assists, allowing him to join the exclusive circle of Premier League legends who have achieved such a remarkable level of productivity.
According to Opta, Salah has become only the fifth player in Premier League history to accomplish this feat. Previously, only Wayne Rooney (288 – 185 goals and 103 assists), Ryan Giggs (269 – 107+162), Alan Shearer (268 – 204+64), and Andrew Cole (259 – 186+73) had surpassed this mark.
