Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool star, hopes to continue his brilliance during the month of December, when the Reds host West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on Sunday evening, the 15th week of the Premier League.
Salah seeks to register for the sixth game in a row in all competitions, after he visited Wolverhampton, Fulham, Tottenham and Crystal Palace in the last four rounds of the English Premier League, along with the Dane’s Metjeland in the Champions League.
The 28-year-old scored twice against Crystal Palace to top the Premier League scorer with 13 goals, two ahead of Son Heung-min, Dominic Calvert Leeuwen and Jimmy Vardy, of Tottenham, Everton and Leicester, respectively.
And that start became the best for Salah in the Premier League, as he scored 10 goals in his first 13 games in his first season with Liverpool 2017-18, while he scored seven goals in the same period during the past two seasons 2018-19 and 2019-20.
Salah surpassed many of the legends of the round witch in the list of historic scorers for the English Premier League, after his scoring record in the tournament reached 88 goals so far, with two goals with his former club Chelsea and 86 goals with Liverpool.
Salah ranks 40th in the list of historic Premier League scorers, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 84 goals with his former Manchester United team, Belgian former Chelsea star Eden Hazard, who scored 85 goals, and retired Dutch legend Denis Bergkamp, the Arsenal icon, who has 87 goals.
Salah is just one goal away from his Senegalese teammate Sadio Mane, the Liverpool winger, who is ranked 39th in the Premier League’s historic scorers’ list with 89 goals.
Mane scored 21 goals for Southampton in the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons, before scoring 68 goals for Liverpool so far since his move to the Reds in the 2016/2017 season.
Salah needed 134 matches to score 88 goals in the Premier League, while Mane scored 89 goals in more matches (207 games).
The Egyptian star approached the Englishman, Raheem Sterling, the current Manchester City star, who is ranked 38th among Premier League scorers throughout history with 90 goals, with 18 goals with his former team Liverpool and 72 with City so far.
