Mohamed Salah equals Manchester United's legend record with his landmark goal at Anfield
In his potential final campaign at Anfield, Liverpool star and legend Mohamed Salah has created a new record. Against Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Egyptian international scored his 101st strike at Anfield, only becoming the fourth player in the English Premier League history to score more than 100 goals in a single stadium. He started his run towards the next record with that penalty goal against the Molineux-based outfit.
At the start of the season, Mohamed Salah mentioned that it is a different feeling to score a goal at Anfield. The adrenaline rush has kept Salah’s spirit alive in the top flight, with him leading the goal tally for his side and the league. Salah has 23 goals and 14 assists in the ongoing campaign, leading the side from the front.
No matter what happens, I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like
Who are the top scorers at a single venue in Premier League history?
Wayne Rooney took 201 appearances to reach the 100-goal mark at Old Trafford. It accounts for him playing for both Manchester United and his boyhood club Everton. The record is held by former Arsenal and Barcelona legend Thierry Henry with 114 goals at Highbury. The second place was held by Sergio Aguero, who scored 106 goals at the Etihad Stadium.
Mohamed Salah has 101 goals to his name and will get seven home games to break the record of Thierry Henry and Sergio Aguero. While 13 goals look an arduous task, moving up to second place should not be a humongous task for Salah.
What next for Mohamed Salah? Where is his contract situation headed?
There are rumors about the player getting injured in the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers that could rule out the Egyptian international from the match against Aston Villa before they travel to Manchester City for the weekend clash. It remains interesting to see the approach taken by Arne Slot.
On the other hand, Salah sounded not so positive in January about the contract renewal. However, there seems to be a change of heart on both sides with the 32-year-old might be heading toward a contract extension with the Merseyside outfit.
