Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool legacy hit a new high on Saturday as he notched his 300th goal contribution for the Reds in a commanding 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town.
The Egyptian King, who has been terrorizing defenses since his arrival from AS Roma seven years ago, showed why he’s the Premier League’s ultimate opening weekend threat.
“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,” Salah said.
At Portman Road, Salah didn’t waste any time making his mark. He deftly assisted Diogo Jota’s breakthrough goal, a moment that sent the traveling Liverpool fans into raptures. But Salah wasn’t done. Just minutes later, he pounced on a loose ball inside the box, doubling Liverpool’s lead with the kind of clinical precision that has become his trademark.
“Hopefully I’ll keep going like this through the whole season, not just the first game!” said Salah, adding, “I try to help the team all the time.
This latest strike was more than just another goal—it was history in the making. Salah’s finish made him the most prolific player in Premier League history on opening weekends, with an unmatched nine goals to his name. And with that, he cemented his status as one of Liverpool’s all-time greats, celebrating his 350th appearance by reaching an incredible 300 goal contributions.
Salah’s numbers are nothing short of staggering: 212 goals and 88 assists, making him the fifth-highest scorer in Liverpool’s storied history. His goal contribution ratio stands at a jaw-dropping 0.86 per match—a testament to his consistent brilliance.
As Liverpool eyes another title run, one thing is clear: with Mohamed Salah leading the charge, the sky’s the limit for this team.
