Liverpool entered their last league fixture against Brighton needing just a draw to consolidate their top four finish. The Reds’ objective attracted a satisfactory response after the talismanic Mohamed Salah crept his way onto the scoreboard once again.
With Harry Kane looking to usurp him at the summit of the top scorers’ chart, the former Chelsea and Roma forward extended his tally to 32. He, as a result, became the first player in a 38-game campaign in the English Premier League to reach the milestone.
That withstanding, Salah further became the first player in the Premier League era to score against 17 different clubs in a single league season while also recording double figures for both goals and assists since both Luis Suarez (31 & 12) and Steven Gerrard (13 & 13) in 2013-14.
