FeatureIn stats: How Mohamed Salah scored 100 LFC goals away from Anfield

Salah brought up his latest milestone with a match-winning brace in Sunday’s 3-2 Premier League victory for the Reds at Southampton.

Here’s a statistical look at how he did it…

38 – different clubs Salah has scored against to reach the total of 100 goals away from Anfield, including 24 English teams. The collection began on the Egyptian’s competitive debut for the Reds when he scored in a 3-3 draw at Watford to commence the 2017-18 Premier League campaign.

21 – his most prolific season for goals on the road came in 2020-21, when 21 of Salah’s 31 strikes in all competitions were scored away from Anfield. In four other campaigns so far he also surpassed double figures: 17 in 2017-18, 11 in 2018-19, 17 in 2021-22 and 14 in 2022-23.

10 – Salah’s happiest hunting ground away from Anfield has been Old Trafford, with his second-half finish in the Reds’ 3-0 win there in September taking his tally at the home of Manchester United to double figures. That total includes a memorable hat-trick when Liverpool prevailed 5-0 in the fixture in October 2021.

Next-highest is Brighton & Hove Albion’s Amex Stadium, where the Egyptian has scored six goals, while he has netted five times apiece at AFC Bournemouth and West Ham United.

4 – the No.11’s most prolific non-English venue to date is FC Porto’s Estadio do Dragao, where Salah has scored four times for the Reds in Champions League fixtures. Single strikes in February 2018 and April 2019 were followed by a double in September 2021.

3 – Salah is only the third player in Liverpool history to net 100 times away from Anfield. Roger Hunt was the first to do it and ended his Reds career with a total of 112. All-time record goalscorer Ian Rush boasts the greatest figure, however, with 161.

3 – hat-tricks are included in the century. As well as the aforementioned treble at United, the forward also scored three in a Premier League win at Bournemouth in December 2018 and delivered a record-breaking hat-trick in a little over six minutes when Liverpool beat Rangers 7-1 at Ibrox in the Champions League in October 2022.

3 – Salah has scored away against Tottenham Hotspur at three different venues. He grabbed a double at the Londoners’ current home in November 2022, having also netted in October 2017 when they were playing home fixtures at Wembley. And, of course, he slammed home a penalty to open the scoring when the clubs faced off in the 2019 Champions League final at Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid.

2 – the 32-year-old has twice been a goalscorer for Liverpool at the iconic San Siro, managing to get one apiece against hosts AC Milan and Internazionale. Each of those efforts came during the 2021-22 Champions League, Salah converting against the former in the group stage and the latter in the last 16.

1 – of Salah’s ‘away’ goals for Liverpool was technically a ‘home’ goal. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, both legs of the Reds’ Champions League knockout tie versus RB Leipzig in early 2021 were played at Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary. He was on target in each match, with the pair therefore both contributing towards his 100 away from home turf.
