Egyptian king Mohamed Salah continues to break new grounds with every match for Liverpool after he joined an elite Premier League club with his latest goal.
Egyptian king Mohamed Salah was in superb form for Liverpool again after achieving a remarkable milestone in the Premier League against Everton.
Following the Reds' 2-2 draw against Merseyside rivals Everton, Salah joined an elite club of players who have contributed 100 goals in their last 100 Premier League appearances.
This achievement places him alongside legends such as Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, and Robin van Persie.
Salah's goal at Goodison Park gave Liverpool an initial 2-1 lead, having assisted the equaliser by Alexis Mac Allister, marking his 100th goal contribution for the club in his last 100 games-comprising 62 goals and 38 assists.
This feat provides a timely reminder of his status as one of the most prolific forwards in the league today.
The Elite Company of Scoring Icons
Salah is now one of only four players to reach this impressive milestone in the Premier League. Here's a closer look at the other three icons who have also achieved this remarkable feat:

The Premier League's all-time leading scorer, Alan Shearer, set a high bar during his illustrious career.
Known for his powerful shots and aerial ability, Shearer scored 260 goals in the league, with many of those contributions coming during his time at Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.

A true Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry was known for his pace, skill, and clinical finishing.
The Frenchman scored a total of 175 Premier League goals and was instrumental in Arsenal's "Invincibles" season in 2003-04, where they went unbeaten throughout the league campaign.

The Dutch striker had a significant impact during his time in the Premier League, particularly with Arsenal and Manchester United.
Van Persie was known for his exquisite finishing and ability to score from difficult positions, finishing his career with 144 league goals.
Salah's Impact on Liverpool
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has not only become a fan favourite but has also rewritten the club's record books.
He is now the fastest player in Liverpool history to reach 100 league goals, achieving this milestone in just 162 appearances.
His contributions have been vital in Liverpool's pursuit of domestic and European glory, including their memorable Champions League victory in 2019 and their Premier League title win in 2020.
With his latest achievement, Salah continues to solidify his legacy as one of the greatest players to ever grace the Premier League.
As he joins legends like Shearer, Henry, and Van Persie in achieving over 100 goal contributions across 100 matches, it is clear that Salah is writing his own chapter in football history-one that will be remembered for years to come.
