The official account of Liverpool FC on Twitter posted in Arabic about the historic goal of their Egyptian star, Mohamed Salah, against Newcastle during the match that took place on Thursday in the 17th round of the Premier League. Salah achieved a new historic record in the match by scoring one of the goals in the game that ended with a 3-1 victory for the "Reds."
Liverpool shared a photo of Salah along with the phrase: "No words can describe you," adding a crown and love heart emojis. They also posted a video of the Egyptian Pharaoh's goal, stating: "Here the king rules by his judgments... for the 15th consecutive match, Salah continues his goal contributions in the Premier League."
The Egyptian national team star and Liverpool's player became the first in the club's history to score in five consecutive matches at Anfield against Newcastle. Salah also strengthened his lead in the Premier League top scorers' list with 15 goals, surpassing his closest rival, Jamie Vardy, by six goals.
According to the global football statistics network, Squawka, Salah's goal the day before yesterday allowed him to match the record held by Leicester City's striker Jamie Vardy, who was previously the only player to have scored or assisted in 15 consecutive matches in the Premier League. Only the legend Alan Shearer has a higher contribution in goals before Christmas in the Premier League than Salah, with Shearer contributing to 25 goals (16 scored and 9 assisted) in the 1994-1995 season.
