Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah has matched Sergio Aguero in the Premier League all-time goal-scorers list with five legendary names ahead. Salah scored his 184th Premier League goal against Southampton in the 3-1 victory at Anfield to match Aguero’s incredible record.
Liverpool have now secured a 16-point lead over second-placed Arsenal in the Premier League title race with a Southampton victory. However, the Gunners have two games in hand, but at the same time, the Reds have only nine games left.
Liverpool have no room for complacency until it is mathematically impossible for Arsenal to surpass them, as anything can happen. Nevertheless, Salah’s impact and form have remained consistent throughout this season in all competitions for the Reds.

According to the Premier League’s official site, Salah has reached Aguero in the all-time goal-scorers list with his goals against Southampton for Liverpool. The 32-year-old legendary forward is three goals away from Andrew Cole, while the remaining three players are further away.
The leading all-time Premier League goal-scorer, Alan Shearer, finished his legendary career with 260 goals, followed by Harry Kane with 213 and Wayne Rooney with 208. While Salah’s contract situation at Liverpool remains uncertain, fans and the player want to stay put. Rest assured, the legendary Egyptian has a good chance to surpass many names if he continues his incredible Liverpool tenure.
According to Fotmob, Salah secured a 9.2 rating against the Saints in his two-goal performance to secure a Liverpool comeback. The 32-year-old also created three big chances with 73% passing accuracy from 41 total passes during the game.
Defensively, Salah also completed two defensive actions and made two recoveries to fulfill his overall duties. Salah has played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s success this season under the new head coach, Arne Slot.
