Mohamed Salah sets some new records in the victory over Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah is determined to lead Liverpool to the Premier League in what could be his last season and the club. That drive has propelled him to uncharted heights in his career, underscored by the records he seems to be setting every week.

Another record for Salah 

The Egypt international led the Reds' comeback against Southampton earlier in the day, scoring twice to ensure the Merseysiders did not stutter at the top of the log, despite their 13-point lead at the time. 

Those goals took his tally in the Premier League to 184, which saw him equal the great Sergio Aguero and become the joint-top scoring foreigner in Premier League history and fifth of any nationality. 

With those goals against Southampton from the penalty spot, he also became Liverpool's third-top scorer of all time (242), surpassing Gordon Hodgson. If he says beyond this campaign, Roger Hunt’s 285 is feasibly attainable; however, first placed Ian Rush (346) is reasonably out of reach.

Salah matches Henry and Haaland 

Salah has been more than just a goalscorer this season, as his 17 assists are the most in the division. With 44 direct goal contributions to his name, Salah effectively matched Thiery Henry and Erling Haaland as having the most goal involvement in a single Premier League campaign of 38 games. 

With nine games left in the league for Salah, he could go on to obliterate it. Another one Salah could match and surpass soon is the 20 assists in a season record held by Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. Should he match it, he would be the first Premier League player with 20 goals 20 assists since Thiery Henry.
