Mohamed Salah reaffirmed his status as a Premier League legend, setting a new record for goal contributions during Liverpool’s dramatic 3-3 draw with Newcastle United on Wednesday.
The Egyptian icon became the first player in Premier League history to both score and assist in the same match on 37 occasions. Salah’s stellar performance included setting up Curtis Jones for Liverpool’s first goal and netting twice himself to rescue a vital point for the Reds.
With his 13th league goal of the season, Salah currently leads the Premier League scoring charts, once again proving to be the driving force behind Liverpool’s title ambitions.
Liverpool trailed at St. James’ Park after a mistake from Caoimhin Kelleher gifted Newcastle a late equalizer through Fabian Schar. Despite defensive lapses and a sluggish first half, Salah’s brilliance ensured the Reds avoided a costly defeat.
Manager Arne Slot heaped praise on his star forward, calling him “special” and highlighting his ability to perform under pressure.
While Salah continues to deliver on the pitch, his contract situation remains unresolved. With his current deal expiring at the end of the season, Liverpool fans are calling for swift action to secure the 32-year-old’s future.
Liverpool face city rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby next, a must-win game to maintain their title push. After dropping two points against Newcastle, Salah’s form will be crucial as the Reds aim to bounce back in one of football’s most historic rivalries.
Will Salah’s on-field brilliance be matched by a renewed commitment from Liverpool off the field? For now, all eyes remain on the Egyptian king as he continues to inspire.
