Salah catches up with Henry in Premier League goals. How far is he from the all-time top scorer?
In the marquee clash of the 20th Premier League round, Liverpool hosted Manchester United at Anfield. The teams produced a spectacular match, ending in a 2-2 draw.
One of Liverpool's goals was scored by the relentless team leader, Mohamed Salah. For the Egyptian, this was his 175th Premier League goal. With this tally, the star winger has drawn level with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
The top three scorers in the history of England’s top flight are as follows:
- Alan Shearer – 260 goals
- Harry Kane – 213 goals
- Wayne Rooney – 208 goals
Notably, Salah has already scored 18 goals and provided 13 assists in 19 Premier League matches this season. This is the best goal contribution by any player in the first 19 games of a Premier League season, surpassing Luis Suárez, who had 30 goal contributions during the 2013-14 season (23 goals, 7 assists).
Despite today’s draw, Arne Slot's team has solidified its position at the top of the Premier League, maintaining a six-point lead over Arsenal.
