Mohamed Salah proves why he has always been the top player in the Premier League for many seasons.
Liverpool has a trip to Brighton’s stadium in round 8 of the Premier League. Coincidentally, this is also the match celebrating Jurgen Klopp’s 8th year leading the team.
The Kop really encountered too many difficulties against a Brighton team that always played well against the big guys. They took the lead early.
However, Mohamed Salah is the bright spot for Liverpool. The Egyptian international shined brightly with a double in the first half.
In the 40th minute, Lewis Dunk failed to pass the ball and Salah immediately punished Brighton with an accurate shot.
Right in the first minute of extra time of the first half, Salah completed a double, this time from the 11m mark after Dominik Szoboszlai was pulled down in the penalty area.
Although Liverpool could not win all 3 points when Brighton scored the second goal after the break, Salah once again showed the importance of the team’s play.
Despite many changes in Liverpool’s attack, Salah is still there and is an irreplaceable factor. After 8 Premier League matches this season, Salah directly contributed to 9 goals, including 5 goals and 4 assists.
No one should say Salah is a “one-season player” when year after year, he continuously shines.
Last season, the Egyptian striker scored 19 goals in the Premier League despite Liverpool’s poor form. He reached the mark of 30 goals in all competitions. According to statistics, Salah has reached this milestone for the 4th time in 6 seasons with Liverpool.
If last season’s goals and assists are included, Salah contributed to 41 goals. It’s no surprise that Salah is considered by many to be one of the greatest players in the team’s history.
