Mohamed Salah scored the 200th goal for the team after 327 games and more than six years with the team. His journey to the historic milestone has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Amazing amount for a very special, very, very special player. After Saturday’s victory, Jurgen Klopp remarked, “I don’t know how often he saved us with a goal he scored at the right moment.”
Yes, Salah has scored a lot of goals throughout his time at Anfield, including equalizers, winners, and penalties that have won the Champions League.
Only Ian Rush (346), Roger Hunt (285), Gordon Hodgson (241) and Billy Liddell (228) have scored a double century for Liverpool before the 31-year-old.
Here are some statistics to illustrate the incredible accomplishment of reaching 200.
