Liverpool: Salah equals Steven Gerrard, Slot praises him

Mohamed Salah was once again decisive for Liverpool. In the 1-0 victory over Sunderland, the Egyptian striker delivered the match-winning assist to Virgil van Dijk from a corner in the 61st minute.

With this latest contribution, Salah reaches 92 Premier League assists for the Reds, equaling Steven Gerrard’s tally—a symbolic milestone for the club. After the match, manager Arne Slot praised his player’s performance:

He has broken many records here. Being on par with Gerrard is special. I hope he can go even further.

This win brings Liverpool, currently sixth, closer to the top four. However, there was bad news as Wataru Endo was stretchered off and, according to his coach, will be out for a long time. As for Salah, he continues to prove he remains a key player for the Reds.
