Premier League: Mo Salah Rewrites History with Record-Breaking Game After Signing New Deal

Mohamed Salah celebrated his new Liverpool contract in style on Sunday, delivering a masterclass in the Reds' 2-1 win over West Ham – and in the process, shattered a Premier League record previously held by legends Thierry Henry and Erling Haaland.

Just days after putting pen to paper on fresh terms at Anfield, the Egyptian king tormented West Ham's teenage left-back Oliver Scarles before producing a moment of magic, curling an inch-perfect outside-of-the-boot cross for Luis Díaz to tap home. That assist took Salah to 45 goal involvements (27 goals, 18 assists) in just 32 league appearances – surpassing Henry (2002/03) and Haaland (2022/23), who both previously held the record (44) in a 38-game Premier League season.

Chasing More History

• Salah’s 18 assists are already the fourth-most ever in a single PL campaign, trailing only Henry (20), Kevin De Bruyne (20), and Mesut Özil (19). Three more would make him the outright record holder.
• Across all competitions, he boasts a ridiculous 32 goals and 23 assists in 46 games – making him Europe’s most lethal attacker this season.
• Only Singapore’s Tomoyuki Doi (58) has more goal contributions worldwide in 2024/25.

Title Charge Alive

With Liverpool now six points from glory, Salah’s red-hot form couldn’t have come at a better time. As the Kop chanted "We’re gonna win the league," their talisman proved once again why he’s irreplaceable.
