Mohamed Salah delivered an exceptional performance in Liverpool's 6-3 victory over Tottenham, breaking three Premier League records. The Egyptian forward scored two goals and provided two assists, becoming the first player in Premier League history to achieve double figures for both goals (15) and assists (11) before Christmas. This remarkable feat also marked the fourth consecutive season and the sixth time in his career that Salah has reached 10 goals and 10 assists in a single campaign.
Salah is currently leading the Premier League’s top scorer race with 15 goals, two ahead of Erling Haaland, while also topping the assist chart with 11. In addition, he cemented his place as Liverpool's fourth all-time top scorer with 229 goals and ranked 10th in Premier League history for assists, with 80 to his name.
With his current form, Salah is in a strong position to secure both the Golden Boot and the Playmaker Award, a feat he achieved in the 2021-2022 season. After the match, Salah expressed his happiness about the records but mentioned there was no new information regarding his contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2025.
Salah’s record-breaking performance further solidifies his legacy as one of the Premier League’s greatest players, with many now anticipating whether he can continue to break records and add to his trophy haul this season.
