Mohamed Salah has been a revelation since his return to the Premier League with Liverpool, hasn’t he? Perhaps, then, it was only a matter of time before he started smashing records for his new club.
The Egyptian international, who signed for the Anfield outfit for £34 million in the summer window, grabbed a goal and assist in the club’s recent 2-0 victory over Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium, a win that cemented the Reds hold on a top four position.
Salah’s contribution against the Saints means he has now been directly involved in 29 Premier League goals this season (22 goals, 7 assists), which is the the most by a Liverpool player in their debut season for the club in the competition.
Two goal contributions took his Draft Fantasy tally to 227 for the season, with a 14 point haul on the south coast seeing him reclaim his position as the campaign’s highest scorer, above Manchester City’s assist-king Kevin De Bruyne (215).
Quite remarkably, Salah is only owned in 91.7% of leagues, which means he is still up for grabs in certain circles.
It comes as no surprise to see the Egyptian collecting more praise after another brilliant performance on Sunday and he is already staking his claim as one of the greatest players to grace Anfield in years gone by.
Now, back into second place in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot – only one goal behind Tottenham’s Harry Kane – Liverpool fans will be hoping to see Salah finish atop of the pile come May, with the Reds cementing a second successive Champions League finish.
