Mohamed Salah scored a goal for Liverpool against Ipswich Town, which has cemented his place in Premier League history.
The Egyptian international provided a decisive assist for Diogo Jota, marking the ninth consecutive year that he has scored or assisted at least one goal in the Premier League opener.
Salah then scored the Reds’ second goal, surpassing all Premier League legends to become the highest scorer in the league’s opening matches.
Salah scored a goal against Watford in 2017-2018, then another against West Ham in 2018-2019, and another against Norwich City in 2019-2020.
In the 2020-2021 season, he scored a hat-trick against Leeds United, then a goal and an assist against Norwich City in 2021-2022, and a goal against Fulham in 2022-2023.
Salah failed to score once against Chelsea last season but provided an assist, and then returned to his favorite habit by scoring in the opening match against Ipswich Town.
Salah’s total number of goals in the first round of the league reached 9 goals, breaking the partnership with legends Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney, and Frank Lampard, who each have 8 goals, and becoming the highest scorer in the opening matches in Premier League history.
Now, we leave you with Salah’s goal against Ipswich Town.
