Mohamed Salah creates PL history after starring in Liverpool's 6-3 win over Tottenham

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah created another piece of Premier League history after a commanding performance in his side's 6-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. The Egyptian forward became the first player in the history of the competition to reach double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas.

Salah has been in irrepressible form since the start of the 2024-25 season, helping Arne Slot's side occupy top spot in the Premier League table. The 32-year-old was at the centre of everything again for his side, scoring twice and creating two more to lead them to a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Mohamed Salah took his tally in the league to 15 goals and 11 assists following his masterful performance against Tottenham. The forward has directly contributed to 26 goals in only 16 league appearances this season, leading the way for both goals and assists.

Across all competitions, Mohamed Salah has now reached 33 goal contributions this season with 18 goals and 15 assists. He has at least four more goal contributions than any other player in Europe's top five leagues this season, indicating the form he is in.
