Salah achieves Premier League immortality with latest record in Newcastle win

Mohamed Salah once again etched his name deeper into Premier League history during Liverpool’s comeback win over Newcastle United at Anfield.

The Egyptian forward delivered a trademark assist and, in the process, set a record no player has ever managed before.

Liverpool were forced to respond after Newcastle struck first, with Anthony Gordon giving the visitors an early advantage and testing the mood inside Anfield. The pressure sparked a reaction.

Hugo Ekitike stepped up with two goals to flip the contest, swinging momentum firmly back in Liverpool’s favour. Still, it was Salah who kept the tempo high and the structure sharp as Liverpool pushed for control.

The decisive third goal arrived in the 67th minute and began with Liverpool winning the ball near midfield. Florian Wirtz moved play wide to Salah, who showed patience and awareness before sliding a perfectly weighted return pass back into the German’s path.

Wirtz did the rest, finishing calmly past Nick Pope. The move summed up Salah’s influence, subtle, intelligent, and devastating. His assist ensured Liverpool’s attacking flow never slowed, even as Newcastle tried to regroup and limit space.

That assist carried historic weight. With it, Salah became the first player in Premier League history to record 10 or more goals and 10 or more assists against a single opponent.

Newcastle are now firmly etched into his personal record book, with the Egyptian boasting 10 goals and 10 assists in just 19 league appearances against them.

It is a statistic that reflects years of consistency, sharpness, and big-game presence. Whether scoring or creating, Salah continues to shape decisive moments against top-level opposition. This latest milestone adds another layer to his Premier League legacy, placing him in rare territory occupied by no one else.

As Liverpool continue their push through the 2025/26 season, Salah’s influence remains unmistakable, delivering records, control, and match-winning quality when it matters most.
