Mohamed Salah: Another Premier League record for Liverpool and Egypt forward

Mohamed Salah is running out of records to beat at club level, as the Egyptian set another Premier League landmark in Liverpool's hammering of Leeds United.

The 29-year-old scored twice and set up another goal in Wednesday's 6-0 victory over the Whites, taking him to 160 goal involvements in the English top flight and a new record for an African player.

That figure, comprising 116 goals and 44 assists, means Salah has beaten the previous tally set by former Chelsea and Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba.

Remarkably Salah, who has been Liverpool's top goalscorer in each of his four seasons at the club, has achieved this feat in 72 fewer games than Drogba.
