EPL: Salah Equals Wayne Rooney’s Record After Liverpool Beat Tottenham

 

Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah, on Sunday, matched a record set by Wayne Rooney during their 4-2 win over Tottenham.

Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott all scored at Anfield before the hour mark, as the Reds kept their faint title hopes alive.

 

As well as scoring the opener, the ‘Egyptian King’ assisted Elliott for his wondergoal.

This brings his tally for the campaign to 18 goals and 10 assists so far.

 

Salah has now become the first player to score 10+ and assist 10+ in three consecutive seasons.

 

Furthermore, he has become just the second player to hit double figures in both metrics in five separate seasons.

The only other player to achieve this feat was Rooney while he played at Manchester United.
