Mohamed Salah Continues Dominance Over Premier League Giants, Closing in on Historic Milestone

In Liverpool's 2-0 triumph over Manchester City, Mohamed Salah solidified his reputation as a big-game expert. The Egyptian forward was instrumental, helping Cody Gakpo score the first goal and then finishing with a calm penalty kick to seal the victory.

This performance elevated Salah's tally against City to 19 goal involvements across all competitions—12 goals and 7 assists. It places City second on the list of teams Salah has tormented the most, just behind Manchester United, with 21 contributions (15 goals, 6 assists).

Salah’s brilliance extends to all Premier League giants. He has 64 goal involvements against the “big six” teams, comprising 45 goals and 19 assists. Arsenal and City share second place after United, with Salah contributing to 13 goals against each. Tottenham (11) and Chelsea (9) follow closely.

Remarkably, Salah now matches Wayne Rooney’s record for the most Premier League games with both a goal and an assist against a single opponent (36 matches). With just 11 goals needed to surpass Alan Shearer’s all-time record of 56 goals against the big six, Salah’s legacy among football’s elite is already cemented.
