Mohamed Salah has set a new record in Premier League history with an assist in the match between Liverpool and Newcastle United on January 31st.
Mohamed Salah continues to affirm his status as the “Egyptian King” in the Premier League by setting another impressive record in the match between Liverpool and Newcastle United at Anfield last night, January 31st. In this match, Salah assisted Florian Wirtz for the third goal, helping The Kop secure an important victory.
Mohamed Salah has 10 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League this season.
This assist made him the first player in Premier League history to reach double figures in both goals and assists against the same opponent. Specifically, against Newcastle, Salah has played 19 Premier League matches, scoring exactly 10 goals and providing 10 assists.
No player before has ever achieved this “double figures” (double digits in both goals and assists) against a single team in England’s top flight. This is clear evidence of Salah’s dominance against Newcastle – a team he frequently torments with both goals and assists.
This record is even more special as Salah is currently at the peak of his form. With a total of 190 goals and 91 assists in 316 Premier League matches (as of the most recent data), he is not only a top scorer but also one of the best chance creators. Previously, Salah has set many other records, such as the highest number of goals in a 38-game season (32 goals in the 2017/18 season), or the record for total goals and assists in a single season.
The victory against Newcastle not only helped Liverpool consolidate their position in the league table but also provided an opportunity for Salah to leave his personal mark. He continues to be the attacking lynchpin of The Kop, with his sharp finishing ability and exceptional tactical awareness. This new record further solidifies Salah’s status as one of the greatest players in Premier League history, especially considering his consistency and effectiveness against specific opponents.
