Starter Against Sparta, Salah Sets New Goal Record with Liverpool

Liverpool, Beritasatu.com – Mohamed Salah showed a brilliant performance when he helped Liverpool beat Sparta Prague 6-1 in the second leg of the last 16 of the Europa League at Anfield Stadium on Friday (15/3/2024) early this morning. In this match, Salah appeared from the first minute for the first time with the squad The Reds since January 2024.

Playing for 90 minutes, Salah managed to score one goal and provide three assists. Thanks to contributing one goal against Sparta in this match, the Egyptian striker also set a new record with Liverpool.

Salah became the first player to successfully score 20 goals or more in all competitions for Liverpool for seven consecutive seasons. He has done this since making his debut with Liverpool in the 2017-2018 season.

“In my seven seasons with him, the only problem I have never encountered is consistency. “Mo (Salah) continues to produce goals and as a player his quality never fades and he always wants to break into the opponent's goal,” said Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp after the match, as reported on the club's official website.

Until now, Salah is the top scorer while Liverpool enters the 2023/24 season. He scored a total of 15 goals in the Premier League, 4 goals in the Europa League and 1 goal in the English League Cup.

An injury while fulfilling the call to defend the Egyptian national team in the Africa Cup of Nations in January 2024, stopped Salah's goals for Liverpool. He also had to struggle to recover his physical condition for the last two months.

Klopp said the number 11 striker did not seem to have lost his golden touch since being absent from Liverpool's first team. He added that if he didn't experience fitness problems, Klopp was sure Salah could break his record more quickly.

“At first I thought he had managed to record the record (early). “I feel very happy to see him playing with this team again,” said Klopp.

Not only Salah, the performance of Liverpool's attackers has been quite productive this season. Darwin Nunez is the sharpest player The Reds next with a record of 17 goals, with 10 of them scored in the Premier League.
