Salah has made history as the Premier League's top foreign scorer

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah recorded his name further into Premier League history on Sunday, becoming the highest-scoring foreign player of all time.

His goal against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, during Liverpool's emphatic 5-1 victory that secured their Premier League title, saw him surpass Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero.

Salah's strike, which put Liverpool 4-1 up, was his 185th Premier League goal, taking him one clear of Aguero's impressive tally.

The Egyptian celebrated the moment by grabbing a phone from a fan in the Kop end and taking a selfie amidst the jubilant scenes.

"To win the Premier League here with the fans is special, it's an incredible feeling," Salah said after the match.

"This is way better than five years ago, without a shadow of a doubt. To do it again after five years is something special," he added.

The Liverpool star had equalled Aguero's record earlier in the season with a brace against Southampton on March 8th. Having now surpassed the Argentine, Salah stands alone as the Premier League's most prolific overseas player.

Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 after a spell with AS Roma and has been a phenomenal success at Anfield. Of his 185 Premier League goals, 183 have been scored for the Reds, with his first two coming during his time at Chelsea in 2014.

He reached this record-breaking feat in his 297th Premier League appearance.

His goal against Tottenham also marked his 28th league goal of the season and his 33rd in all competitions, contributing to a remarkable 46 goal contributions in the Premier League this term.

This puts him just one behind Andy Cole and Alan Shearer's joint record for the most goal involvements in a single Premier League season.

Now fifth in the Premier League's all-time scoring chart, Salah trails only four English players: Andy Cole (187), Wayne Rooney (208), Harry Kane (213), and Alan Shearer (260).
