The first visiting player ever to net a treble on the ground in the Premier League, Salah was also the first Liverpool player to score three times away at Manchester United since Fred Howe in 1936.<\/p>\n

His Reds career will conclude with him comfortably the club\u2019s most prolific individual versus United \u2013 his 16 goals standing clear of Steven Gerrard<\/a>\u2019s nine.<\/p>\n

In October of 2022-23, Salah helped himself to the record of quickest hat-trick scored in a Champions League fixture.<\/p>\n

Having entered the clash with Rangers at Ibrox as a second-half substitute, he went on to hit the net three times in a period of just six minutes and 12 seconds.<\/p>\n

Overall, Salah will depart the Reds having thoroughly etched his name into the club\u2019s rich history in European football.<\/p>\n

He tops the chart for the most European goals scored with 53 (a dozen more than Gerrard) and specifically the Champions League (48, clear of Gerrard\u2019s 30).<\/p>\n

During his ninth and final season at Anfield, the attacker also leapfrogged Ian Callaghan<\/a> and Sami Hyypia<\/a> to reach third place for most European appearances for Liverpool (95).<\/p>\n

It was during the 2022-23 campaign that Salah hauled himself to the summit of the Reds\u2019 list of top scorers in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Two goals in the 7-0 rout of United at Anfield moved him above Robbie Fowler<\/a> (128).<\/p>\n

That tally now stands at 191.<\/p>\n

By creating a goal on his farewell appearance on Sunday, meanwhile, Salah moved past Gerrard for the most Premier League assists while representing the Reds, on 93.<\/p>\n

Premier League-specific achievements have poured in with abnormal frequency for Salah, particularly during his magnificent 2024-25 performance.<\/p>\n

To inspire Liverpool to the second championship of his time on Merseyside, he totalled a ridiculous 47 goal involvements (29 goals and 18 assists were each league highs) \u2013 a record for one player in a 38-game campaign.<\/p>\n

He was also the division\u2019s leading scorer and assister in 2021-22 (23 goals, 13 assists). Nobody else has ever done that twice.<\/p>\n

There were 11 different league games in 2024-25 that saw Salah both score and assist, leaving the previous best figure of seven in the dust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first visiting player ever to net a treble on the ground in the Premier League, Salah was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603001,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[607,608,49,596,603,598,609,611,610,134,602,601,597,606,50,599,604,600,51,47,52,48,605],"class_list":["post-603000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-headlines","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-news","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-the-reds","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
