In their last four away games in the Premier League, Liverpool has scored no less than 16 complete hits. Of the 27 matches they have played this season, Liverpool have lost only one with a goal difference of 67–22.
Liverpool’s goalscorer Salah has now scored 17 goals in the 18 Premier League matches he has played and has also assisted 13 hits. Salah has been able to score at least 20 or more in his eight consecutive years at Liverpool.
– It’s hard to find more quality words to describe Salah, because he is incredible. At 32, he still looks like the same player who arrived at Liverpool eight years ago. He is a phenomenon. Gotta admire the stats he puts up for us week after week, the ex-Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp boasted to Sky Sports.
Taking all series into account, the Egyptian has amassed 25 matches, with 20 goals and 17 assists leading to goals.
The number one hero of the night, Salah, has been organizing a total of 51 goals for Liverpool in the calendar year 2024 (29 goals, 22 assists). It is only the second time in Premier League history that a player has been able to contribute to more than 50 goals for his team on a yearly basis.
Salah previously did the same trick six years ago in 2018, when he totaled 37+15. At that time, however, the performances were not enough in the Golden Ball voting, i.e. in the Ballon D’Or, even for the top four.
