Mohamed Salah recently became the latest star to surpass the 100-goal mark in the Premier League for Liverpool against Brentford.

The Egyptian ace was signed from AS Roma in 2017. He has delivered consistently for his side ever since and is currently on another hot run of form.

He also played a vital role in the Merseyside outfit's maiden league title last year, scoring 19 times.

His current record in the English top-flight stands at 107 goals, all of which bar two having come in Liverpool colors.

But considering the club have had so many prolific goalscorers in their history, where does Salah's tally rank on their all-time list?

Here are Liverpool's top five scorers in the Premier League:


#5 Sadio Mane - 80 goals

Mane has 101 goals in the Premier League from 239 games, including 80 for Liverpool

As far as underrated wingers go, there's none more so than Sadio Mane. He has gone from a rising star at Southampton to becoming one of the world's deadliest scorers at Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp.

Pacy, lethal and incredibly skilled, the Senegalese ace is everything you need in a modern winger and makes loads of assists too. He recently became just the third African player to cross a century of goals in the Premier League. He achieved this in Liverpool's 5-0 win over Watford.


#4 Mohamed Salah - 105 goals

Just weeks before Mane's feat, Mohamed Salah himself surpassed the 100-goal mark in the Premier League. But he accomplished the feat in much fewer games (168). In fact, he's the fastest Liverpool player to record the feat and just the fifth-fastest in the league's history.

Since returning to British shores in 2017, the Egyptian ace has been in a league of his own. He has been tearing defenses asunder with his explosive pace and lethal finishing skills and putting the fear of God in the hearts of his markers.

#3 Michael Owen - 118 goals

Michael Owen may not win many popularity awards at Anfield these days due to his move to Manchester United in 2009. But in his prime he lit up Anfield with his explosive attacking style and blistering goalscoring exploits.

He surpassed the 100-goal mark for Liverpool at the age of 23. But recurring hamstring injuries following his departure in 2004 derailed his promising career, otherwise he'd have easily been at the top of the list.


#2 Steven Gerrard - 121 goals

The only player on the list who isn't a forward is Steven Gerrard. Nonetheless managed to score a truckload of goals for Liverpool during 17 illustrious years, including 121 in the Premier League in 504 games.

Sure, most of them came from penalties and free-kicks, but the former talismanic skipper always delivered in the big games. Only 18 players in history have accrued more goals than him in the league.

Not bad for a midfielder.


#1 Robbie Fowler - 128 goals

Long before the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane arrived, it was Robbie Fowler who ruled the roost at Anfield. He was a reckoning force of a striker throughout the 90s for Liverpool.

Across two spells at Merseyside, he scored 183 goals, including 128 in the Premier League. This included nine hat-tricks, a tally bettered only by Sergio Aguero (12) and Alan Shearer (11). But Fowler somehow never won the Premier League Golden Boot.
