Salah’s goal took him past Yakubu, who scored 95 goals in 252 appearances during his playing career, which makes him the third highest scoring African player in the EPL.

The two-time African Footballer of the Year is now the third-highest scoring African player in the Premier League, behind Togo’s Emmanuel Adebayor (97 goals) and Ivory Coast’s Didier Drogba (104 goals).

Two of Salah’s 96 Premier League goals came during his first stint in England when he scored twice in 14 matches for Chelsea during the 2013-14 campaign.

Thursday’s outing was also the 28-year-old’s 200th appearance for Liverpool in all competitions and he marked it with his 124th goal for the club since his permanent signing from Serie A side AS Roma in June 2017.

With the win, Liverpool are now fifth on the league table with 60 points after 35 matches – four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with three games left to play.

On an individual level, Salah is now the joint top scorer in the current English top-flight campaign alongside Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane with 21 goals.

The former Chelsea forward is gunning for his third Golden Boot in England having won the prize in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.
