Mohamed Salah delivered another standout performance as Liverpool cruised to a commanding 5-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday night, breaking and setting new records.
The Egyptian superstar scored one goal and provided two assists, etching his name in the Premier League record books as Liverpool continued their fine form with win over the Hammers, ending 2024 on a high.
Salah became the first player in league history to both score and assist in eight separate matches during a single campaign, having done so in seven other EPL matches this season.
At 32 years old, Salah continues to perform at an elite level, serving as a key figure in Liverpool's attack under new manager Arne Slot.
With his current deal set to expire in the summer of 2025, securing Salah's future on Merseyside will likely be a top priority for the club.
Salah climbs higher in assist charts
Salah's sensational form mirrors Liverpool's impressive resurgence under Slot, who has adapted seamlessly to life at Anfield since succeeding Jurgen Klopp.
The team's fluid attacking play and tactical discipline have been hallmarks of Slot's tenure, and their performances this season suggest Liverpool are serious contenders on all fronts.
Salah has been pivotal in this success, combining his scoring prowess with creative play.
His two assists against West Ham not only set him on course to breaking the assist record in a single season but also pushed him into 10th place on the Premier League's all-time assist chart with 81, surpassing the legendary David Beckham.
The Egyptian has now contributed directly to 30 goals in this campaign - 17 goals and 13 assists - after 18 games.
