Contents
There are not many players in world football that have the influence on a match like Mohamed Salah does for Liverpool. The Egyptian striker has been at the club 7 years and is recognised as one of the world’s best players. Throughout his Liverpool FC career, the 31-year-old has had some incredible moments. Here are the top five moments of Salah at Liverpool according to fan Cian Evans. Do you agree?
1. First Liverpool Goal On Club Debut
Chelsea were his first club in the Premier League and then moved on loan to Italian sides Fiorentina and AS Roma. However, he returned to the Premier League in June 2017 by signing with Liverpool. At the time, his contract was the most expensive in the club’s history, costing an initial fee of £36.5 million.
Salah scored his first goal for Liverpool on his debut with a strike against Watford in August. During the 2017/18 season, Salah went on to score an incredible 44 goals in his debut Liverpool campaign, still a club record.
2. Award-winning Merseyside Derby Strike
During Salah’s amazing debut season for Liverpool, one of the most important goals was against local rivals Everton in the Merseyside Derby. Salah made his mark and scored a wonder strike to give Liverpool a vital 1-0 win. One of his best goals of his career, it demonstrated the skill that he and few others possess. He dribbled past several Everton players and lobbed Jordan Pickford to place into the top corner. This wonder goal won the 2018 FIFA Puskas Award for the season’s ‘most beautiful’ goal.
3. Opening Score in Champions League Title Win
As stated early, Salah is an integral part of any team and his influence on a match is unrivalled by only a few players. In the 20018/19 Champions League campaign, his goals and skill allowed Liverpool fans to witness yet another European title win, the first Champions League trophy since 2005.. Salah scored the opening goal of the Champions League Final, the scoring with an early penalty. Liverpool went on to win the game 2-0.
4. Securing Liverpool’s Long-awaited Premier League Title
During the pandemic season, Salah continued his amazing form and excellent play for Liverpool, contributing to the club’s first Premier League title in 30 years. During the season, Salah also set individual records by becoming the fastest player to score 50 Premier League goals for Liverpool. Another amazing season in which he demonstrated on a weekly basis how is one of the best players ever to play in Europe.
5. Becoming Liverpool’s Top Premier League Goalscorer
Salah continues to contribute and dominate the games he plays in. In December 2023, Liverpool’s veteran star became the fifth club player to score 200 goals after finding the net against Crystal Palace. He set another Liverpool record by taking only 325 games to do so.
Salah is behind Liverpool’s all-time leading goalscorer and club icon Ian Rush , who took 660 games to score 346 goals, however, if Salah stays with the Reds for a few more years, he has the potential to break this record.. Either way, the brilliant forward has already established himself as one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players.
