Mohamed Salah On the Verge of Breaking Premier League Record as Liverpool Takes on Arsenal on Super Sunday
Liverpool FC has already won the Premier League title with three games to spare. The side will take on second-placed Arsenal next on Sunday, headlining the Super Sunday fixtures in match week 36. The game will affect Arsenal’s chances in qualifying for the UCL next season. But there is something for Liverpool also, as their star striker, Mohamed Salah, is just one goal or assist away from making EPL history.
In April this year, Salah’s opening goal against West Ham ensured he broke the record for the most goal involvements in a 38-game Premier League season with 45, consisting of 27 goals and 18 assists. With the Arsenal tie at hand, Salah is presented with the opportunity to equal and possibly surpass some great Premier League players.
A goal for Mohamed Salah would see him equal Roberto Firmino’s club record of 11 league goals versus the Gunners. Another record is on the Horizon, and this is arguably the bigger prize in cementing the Premier League legacy of the Liverpool attacker.
With Salah’s 46 goal contribution, with a goal or assist against Arsenal today, he will draw level with Andrew Cole, Newcastle United (1993-94) and Alan Shearer, Blackburn (1994-95), in a 42-game season. Check out Mo Salah’s other records at Liverpool.
