Salah tops Liverpool record of Torres & Suarez by hitting 20-goal mark again

The Egyptian frontman was back on target in a meeting with Bournemouth on Saturday, allowing him to match the efforts of Michael Owen
Mohamed Salah has topped the efforts of Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez by reaching the 20-goal mark for Liverpool in a third successive season.

The Egyptian forward was back on target in a Premier League meeting with Bournemouth on Saturday.

That outing was his 100th in the English top-flight for the Reds.

He has hit the back of the net on 70 occasions across those outings and reached 91 for Liverpool in total.

A stunning debut campaign at Anfield for the 27-year-old saw him register 44 goals across all competitions.

 

A further 27 efforts were added to that tally last season, as Salah secured back-to-back Golden Boots in the Premier League.

The mythical mark for any frontman worth their salt has been reached once again, with 20 goals hit in 2019-20.

Michael Owen was the last man to achieve that feat through three consecutive seasons for the Reds.

Not even Torres and Suarez, who enjoyed prolific spells on Merseyside, can claim to have matched Salah’s return.
