Mohamed Salah Sets Record,Becomes Fastest Player In Liverpool To Reach 50 Premier League Goals

Mohamed Salah has become the fastest player in Liverpool history to reach 50 Premier League goals.

The 26-year-old Egyptian striker scored an important second-half goal for the Reds against Southampton with 10 minutes left to play on Friday night.


The goal which came in his 69th appearance for Merseyside club, confirmed he reached a half-century three games quicker than previous record holder Fernando Torres.



After the match, Salah told Sky Sports: ‘I think that’s goal number 50 for Liverpool in the Premier League so that’s special - and after nine games [without one], but Henderson scored I think for the first time in maybe 30 games so we are both happy.



 
‘Not at all [I didn’t think about passing], as a striker I need to score, I am thinking to score. Maybe if someone is in a better position I can think but I just took my decision to shoot and I scored so I’m very happy about it.’



The goal was also his first goal after nine games for Liverpool without a single goal.
