During the first half of the final Merseyside derby, which took place at Goodison Park, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah made another contribution to the annals of League of Premier League history.
After a brilliant free-kick routine, Everton took an unexpected 1-0 lead 11 minutes into the match on Wednesday night. Beto raced in behind Alisson Becker and slotted the ball past him, sending the iconic stadium into raptures.
On the other hand, the leaders of the league were not behind for very long because just five minutes later, Alexis Mac Allister was able to level the score by producing an incredible header that went past Jordan Pickford.
With Mac Allister arriving late in the box and glancing the ball in at the far post, Salah provided a delightful cross from the right flank. Mac Allister added the finishing touch to the goal.
Furthermore, by contributing a record-breaking 14th assist, Salah has now added yet another record to his ever-expanding collection of Premier League accomplishments.
By becoming the first player in the history of the Premier League to be directly involved in 22 goals scored away from home in a single season, the Egyptian sensation, whose contract will expire in the summer, has now achieved this remarkable feat.
Salah has been excellent on the road, as evidenced by his 13 goals and nine assists in a total of 13 games played.
According to Squawka, the previous record was held by the legendary striker Andy Cole, who scored 21 goals for Newcastle during the 1993–1994 season. Cole was a member of the team that won the championship.
There are still 14 games left for Salah to add to his total, and it is possible that this season will turn out to be his best individual season in a Liverpool shirt since he signed with Liverpool from Roma in 2017.
In the Premier League, Salah is the player who has contributed the most assists this season, with Bukayo Saka and Antonee Robinson coming in second and third, respectively, with ten assists each. The former Chelsea player has contributed an astounding 48 goals across all competitions.
Former teammate of Salah’s at Liverpool reveals the details of his contract
Liverpool runs the risk of losing Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk for free in the summer. Dejan Lovren, a friend of the 32-year-old player and a former teammate of Salah’s at Liverpool, has provided an explanation as to why he has not yet signed a contract with the club.
According to Salah, there are some things that are lacking from the club’s side, and I am hoping that this issue will be resolved as soon as possible. According to what he shared with WinWin, “the current reality is that he is closer to leaving than he is to staying.”
“I came to the realization that the club does not respect him enough, or at least not as much as he believes he deserves, but that is another side of the conversation; it is all about what is going on behind the scenes,” I said.
“He loves Liverpool, by the way he loves Liverpool a lot, and he wants to stay, and that’s the most important part, maybe he sees himself retiring there.”
