Mohamed Salah’s Record-Breaking Season with Liverpool.
Since arriving at Liverpool in 2017, Mohamed Salah has been enjoying one of his finest campaigns. The Egyptian forward has been instrumental in the Reds’ pursuit of a second Premier League title and their 20th top-flight triumph, while also aiming for success in the Champions League.
His outstanding form has seen him net 30 goals in all competitions, with 25 of those coming in the Premier League. As a result, Liverpool has established a commanding 13-point lead at the top of the league table, with Arsenal trailing in second place with a game in hand.
Breaking Records at an Unprecedented Rate
This season has the potential to be one of Liverpool’s most memorable, and Salah has played a pivotal role in their success. He has already set numerous records, cementing his place among football’s elite.
During Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City, Salah shattered six records in a single match. At the Etihad Stadium, he opened the scoring and later assisted Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal, further solidifying his impact on the game.
Following that match, he became the first player in Premier League history to be involved in over 40 goals in two separate seasons (2017/18 and 2024/25). His tally currently stands at 42, having added another assist in Liverpool’s recent 2-0 victory against Newcastle United.
A Trailblazer in Premier League History
Salah also became the first Premier League player to reach 25 goals and 15 assists in a single season. With 10 matches still to be played, he has already amassed 25 goals and 17 assists, further establishing his dominance in England’s top flight.
On a club level, Salah now holds the record for the most assists in a single Premier League season for Liverpool. He achieved this milestone against Manchester City and extended it further with an assist in the win over Newcastle.
Additionally, the match against City saw him become the first player to score and assist in both Premier League encounters against the reigning champions. Furthermore, he became the first player since Lionel Messi in the 2014/15 season to register a goal and an assist in 11 different league matches across Europe’s top five leagues.
Setting the Standard Across Europe
One more milestone Salah reached was becoming the first player this season to contribute to 50 goals across all competitions within Europe’s top five leagues. With his performances against City and Newcastle, he has increased that tally to 52, with an opportunity to add more when Liverpool face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Record That Slipped Away
Earlier in the season, Salah had a chance to claim another Premier League record. During a remarkable goal-scoring run, he found the net in seven consecutive league games between November and December.
However, he fell short of surpassing the record for most consecutive matches scored in, which remains 11, set by Jamie Vardy for Leicester City between August and November 2015. After failing to score in a 2-2 draw against Fulham in December, Salah resumed his scoring streak in Liverpool’s subsequent four league fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester, West Ham, and Manchester United.
