Mohamed Salah has reached 50 Premier League goals spread across spells at Chelsea and Liverpool, with only three players hitting that landmark in fewer games.
The Egyptian forward made his way to another notable landmark during a meeting with Crystal Palace .
Having seen Jurgen Klopp’s side head into the interval trailing on home soil, Salah burst them out of the blocks in the second 45 at Anfield.
Salah was to be the man to restore Liverpool’s advantage, having been given a considerable helping hand from Julian Speroni.
He has now recorded 50 goals in the English top-flight in just 72 appearances.
His race to a half-century has also seen him reach that mark in the same number of games as former Reds star Fernando Torres – another out-and-out forward.
To further put Salah’s remarkable return into perspective, he has proved quicker to 50 than Manchester City star Sergio Aguero (81 games) and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry (83 games).
