As Liverpool walloped Leeds United 6-1 on Monday night, Mohamed Salah broke the all-time Premier League record for the most left-footed goals scored by a single player.
The £34.3 million (Sky Sports) man opened the scoring with a pinpoint finish that beat Illan Meslier on the near post before doubling his tally with a lovely strike inside the box; both with his natural foot.
While Liverpool were rightly praised for putting in an emphatic showing against Leeds United, Mohamed Salah broke a record that is as unique as he is as a player.
How many left-footed goals has Salah scored in the Premier League as he beats record?
The Egyptian winger is extremely one-footed but much like Arjen Robben or Riyad Mahrez, his left foot is a wand.
The fact that six years into his time at Anfield, the fact that the sight of Salah getting the ball on his left peg intimidates defenders and opposition fans across the world is testament to how dangerous it really is.
As Liverpool made light work of Leeds, Mohamed Salah broke Robbie Fowler’s all-time Premier League record of scoring 105 goals with his right foot by reaching 106 at Elland Road, according to Squawka.
Once again, the former Roma wideman, branded as ‘top-quality’ by Thomas Frank finds new ways to shatter and set his own records.
HITC View: Liverpool vs Leeds was proof that the ‘Egyptian King’ is far from past his best
Considering the 30-year-old has not been at his brilliant best this season, many have suggested that he may finally be on the decline.
However, Mohamed Salah not just broke an incredible record against Leeds but more importantly, looked like a player Liverpool can still rely on for years on end.
With 15 goals and 7 assists to his name in the league alone for a side that has underwhelmed this campaign and how, the decorated forward still continues to prove that doubting him is simply naïve at this point.
