The 29-year-old Egyptian striker has become the most successful African star in Premier League history, landing in the Premier League for five seasons, he has locked up his third Premier League Golden Boot early this morning, and is also about to become the most goalscored by Liverpool in the league since the Premier League era. Salah, who missed the World Cup, is moving towards the top 8 historical records.
In the early hours of this morning, when Salah broke his goal drought in the past 8 games, he had established a five-goal lead in the Premier League top scorers list, and it was also his fourth season to score 22 or more goals in the Premier League, and his stable output allowed him to score 117 Premier League goals in less than 5 seasons! Historically, French striker Henry has won the Premier League Golden Boot four times, and local strikers Kane and Shearer have also won the Golden Boot three times, while before Salah, only Ivorian star "Magic Beast" Drogba won the Premier League Golden Boot twice. However, after today, Salah will become the first African player in Premier League history to win the League Golden Boot three times, while he has also created or is in the process of setting seven other great Premier League records.
The first is Salah's record in the Premier League: one is to score five times in a single season for Manchester United, including a hat-trick on the road and a double this morning, making Manchester United his most "favorite" team. The second is the player who has scored the most goals in the history of the "Double Red Society", scoring 9 goals in 10 encounters with Manchester United, and tied for first place with Gerrard. The third is to continue to be the African player who has scored the most goals in the history of the Premier League, and he will continue this record since surpassing Drogba's record of 104 Premier League goals this season.
Then there's the great record that Salah is about to set: one is the fastest player in Premier League history to win the Golden Boot three times, and will win the Golden Boot three times in his first five seasons in the Premier League, only Alain Shearer has done it in history, but Shearer has played in the old League One for 5 seasons before the first year of the Premier League. The second is the player who will soon become the player who has scored the most goals in the league in the Premier League era, and only Michael Owen (118 goals), Gerrard (120 goals) and Robbie Fowler (128 goals) are currently more than him, and as soon as this year, Salah will become the first person in the history of the team.
The third is the first African & non-European player to win the Golden Boot of the Premier League 3 times, before Salah, only the Frenchman Henry and the English star Shearer and the three lions captain Kane have won more than 3 Premier League Golden Boots, Salah surpassed Drogba's 2 Golden Boots to become the first person in Africa, after equalizing Kane and Shearer, it is more promising to challenge Henry in the future! Fourth, it is very promising to become the first African first in the history of the Premier League to win the season's Golden Boot and assists, and salah is currently far ahead of the top scorer list with 22 goals, and 12 assists are also tied for first place with teammate Arnold, and it is also very promising to become the first person in Africa!
It is no exaggeration to say that Salah is the greatest African star in the history of the Premier League!
