NewsMohamed Salah reaches landmark of 300 LFC goal contributions

The No.11 assisted the Reds’ breakthrough at Portman Road for Diogo Jota and then pounced on a loose ball inside the box to double that lead soon after.

Salah’s close-range finish took him clear as the most prolific player in Premier League history on the opening weekend, with this his ninth such goal.

It also saw the Egyptian – who was making his 350th appearance for the club – achieve that massive goal contribution landmark since he arrived at Anfield from AS Roma just over seven years ago.

Salah has now scored 212 times for Liverpool – the fifth-highest figure of all time – and assisted on 88 occasions, for a goal contribution ratio of 0.86 per match.

“Hopefully I’ll keep going like this through the whole season, not just the first game!” Salah reacted post-match. “I try to help the team all the time.

“The most important thing is that the team wins the game. I’m always happy to score goals and to give assists so I just need to carry on.”
