Mohamed Salah put on a show for Liverpool on Sunday, scoring one goal and assisting two in their 5-0 victory over West Ham. Not only did he help secure the win, but he also made history by becoming the first player in Premier League history to score and assist in eight games in a single season, an impressive feat just 18 games into the current campaign.
The Egyptian forward has been in top form all season, and this match was no exception. His performance took his total goal count to 20 in all competitions, in just 26 appearances. What's even more remarkable is that in the Premier League alone, this was the eighth game in which he both scored and assisted, breaking a record previously held by legends such as Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, and Harry Kane.
Salah's individual achievements are certainly impressive, but his main focus remains on helping Liverpool win the league. In an interview with Sky Sports, he said, "The only thing on my mind is winning the league with Liverpool. That's been my focus since the beginning of the season." He also credited his teammates for their hard work and staying humble, as they currently sit eight points clear at the top of the table.
Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, has also been a key factor in their success this season. Since his arrival over the summer, the team has been sitting comfortably at the top of both the Premier League and Champions League. And while Slot has certainly played a crucial role, he also recognizes the impact of Salah's incredible form, stating, "If you look at his numbers, you can't argue that he is one of the best players in the world right now."
With such a strong start to the season, it's no wonder that Salah is being considered one of the top players in the world. But as he stays focused on winning the league with Liverpool, there is no doubt that he will continue to put on impressive performances and break even more records along the way.
