Liverpool's best signing in decades keeps up earning milestones. Mohamed Salah confirmed himself as the team's biggest threat in front of goal with his goal against West Ham. That strike earned him a Premier League record, and curiously enough, he managed to steal it from another Liverpool legend.
The Egyptian scored hi 23rd goal in the current Premier League season, reaching the top of the charts alongside Harry Kane. What stands out the most is that 20 of those goals have been scored with his left foot, more than any other player in the competition's history.
